Markus, It's a smaller format SLR camera. If you grew up with Rollei TLRs and Hasselblad SLRs, you'd think your 35mm camera was like looking down a dark tunnel. I find the DS' eye relief and magnification excellent, and the focusing screen has good 'tooth' for manual focus. The MX I had

I'd be curious just what cameras you've looked through. All the recent film models in the low to mid range from all manufacturers pretty much suck. They are really relying on AF rather than MF for focusing. The viewfinder is just for composing. The digitals are much similar. When I got the

I've got to agree. When I have flat images, it's because I didn't post processing them properly. You should work on those skills, rather than relying on the lab to do that for you by using film. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, March 21, 2006, 9:59:59 PM, you wrote: GD On Mar 21, 2006, at
