this is why i took up slides and then abandoned them as soon as i could.
magazine submissions required slides for a long time. now, i don't deal with
places that can't handle files. the rest of the time, color prints 11x14 or
larger are the goal. starting with slides are the way i like to do it best
when using film, but i'll shoot film only when i want a specific effect now.
got some Velvia 50 recently for a project that i haven't worked on yet.
compared to my Provia 100F shots on good Pentax lenses, the D2X shows more
detail. i think Velvia using a macro will still come out ahead of the D2X
using a comparable macro. that's the test i need to run.

Fair enough, since I don't "show" slides, they are but the first element
in my
processing chain, not the beginning and the end. Slides are fine in the
right
environment but outside the limited confines of one on one projection it's
very
difficult to share or display work which is a goal of mine.
