Sorry, Crystal, you may have misinterpreted the way I talk about digital - if you have a look through previous posts on the subject you'll find that while I do indeed prefer digital, this is because it is the medium that brought me into photography, and it has to be said that digital photography is going to be mainstream in the future. It doesn't mean I don't like film. Ok, at the moment I agree digital is not the blunt 'be all and end all' that you say, but one has to consider all mediums and circumstances, and that each medium has it's own nuances. I can do things with a digital camera that I can't do with a manual - ie. six months ago this would have been as simple as TAKE A DECENT PHOTO. Btw, you could do things with 8-track tapes that you still can't do with cd's too..........didn't stop them being taken over. The good thing about photography is that we have a choice, and will as individuals always favour one or the other. Film isn't the be all, end all either - they've both got their place here and both have advantages and disadvantages. (",)
