Bob, Altough I love the histogram function of my 10D and altough I agree that I shoot more, I'm not sure it helps with my eye. Maybe you can help me here.
When I use my Elan II I always have my light meter with me. When I use a little Leica M4, the meter MUST be in my hands all the time. I still don't have a meter inside my brain and I doubt I ever will. Specially withy the Leica, the process is slower, more "intimate", if you know what I mean. I tend to evaluate better what I'm doing because the process is slower. With the 10D I use the meter rarely because I trust the histrogram and have real time feedback. My picture taking process is becoming faster and I KNOW it's also becoming worst, not as clever, not as evaluative, not as selective. This is something that I'm fighting right now. Every time I go out to shoot I try to move back to the "old" way of doing things, try not to bite the "oh, just press the shutter and delete it if it's not good" bandwagon. Yes, the 10D gives me more pleasure then my film cameras just after the shooting session. And the Leica gives me more pleasure DURING the session. Maybe this is just me. Hope I can find a "solution".

Basically, he made the point that since there are no processing and film costs, and you can delete what you don't like, you tend to be willing to shoot a lot more of any given subject. Not only does that improve your odds of getting the best shot, but the more you shoot the better your "eye" gets (at least we hope so). Add in the ability to review your shots pretty much instantly, and reshoot if necessary, and shooting digital is going to improve your work. And that is why I bit the bullet. Not cost savings (it'll take me a while to save enough on film and processing), not technology per se, but the ability to improve my photography. I am, however, keeping my film bodies. For some purposes I'll still shoot film, and wide angle is one of the reasons. ===== Bob Meyer I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger... http://www.meyerweb.net/epson * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
