More rambling: So, if film is about $3US and processing $7US, if a good digital is around $1000US ?? Takes about 100 rolls to pay for it. I probably go through 100 rolls in about two years. [Most of you seem to do more.] In two years, any digital I'd buy now would likely be pretty obsolete, though still functional. 'Course with a digital I'd likely experiment more; more exposures, but throw more away. Depends some on ones shooting style; slow and methodical, or shotgun. Still, cheaper than smoking, drugs, race cars, or a girl friend...
