Dear Kim.... using a traditional slr is no different than using the old digital... :~) the only patience needed is to wait for them to come back from the lab and these days that shouldn't take more than a day.... You take fabulous images with that camera of yours, I'm sure your film work would be fabulous too... But no matter, I can relate to the loss of the camera. When my Dimage 7 fell and I broke the lens I had to wait over 2 months for it to come back.... it was hellish, but it made me pick up my old slr and I fell back in love with film....

I am, therefore I create.......
