The difference between the M cameras and the *ist D is that there are vastly more buttons, screens, compartments, etc to cram into or onto the *ist D. Then there is the problem of holding a small camera properly. I once owned a Minox (don't ask why!), and I certainly didn't think its size

I like your shot, good subject matter, nice composition, smooth gradations of tone, much better than mine in that respect, either you have a much better scanner or a much better exposure, on top of everything else. Jostein wrote: I think the originally posted PAW is the best lighthouse shot so

announcing more doesn't mean they are selling more. the market shelf life of a PS digicam is a lot shorter than a DSLR. that's one incentive for abandoning the digital PS market. in a commodity market, the one with the highest production volume wins because their cost per unit is lower. 2 and 3

XTOL isn't really the best push developer... Microphen or DD-X work better. If I remember well I was using XTOL with a 1:2 or 1:3 dilution. I guess I was looking for trouble... Microphen is the next one I was to try. A friend of mine prepares Microphen concentrates at home. I'll try it for
