BSteph - The film isn't that expensive. Almost exactly comporable to the cost of 35mm film (and like 35mm, with different brands and types, price can increase). Just remember, it's medium format size, but it's still shooting through plastic lenses. I've also seen people shoot Dianes and Holgas with fresh film and get the kind of blowouts Mike got above (from light leaks in the camera). Still, it definetly gives an interesting look. :) Mike - Ok...you're not completely crazy then. :) I've thought of progressing from my EOS 630 to the A2/A2E or 3 (and keeping my trusty 630 as backup body). Maybe one day. :) -=>Donald
