By the time the class is over i am just loading in their pictures.I get a lot of them who just want to see how they looked,what they may be doing right or wrong when jumping,coaches use the sllide show as a teaching aid,but many buy too,and thats a good thing.(sorry Martha)
The show people are beginning to expect digital photographers at the shows now.The few film ones that remain get complains about how long it takes for proofs now.(five years ago we heard how quick they came out,go fiqure.lol) I'm seriously thinking of just sticking with digital for any "35mm" type of shooting,and the 6x7 for B&W and slide film only.Keeping a 35mm body for those who insist on a film picture. My only ponder now is do i add to the D series i have now, (D100 or D2H)or look into the next version of the *istD and utilize my Pentax lenses. Dave
