Shel, I think, you misunderstood the drift of my post... >what makes you say that one can't have control over > their output unless one uses digital
As a life long slide shooter with another life, I chose not to spend time processing my film. I therefore was at the mercy of commercial outfits to do this for me, fortunately I was able to find good reputable processors, but I still yielded the ultimate control of my images over to them. >what the heck is it with so many of you digi people that you seemingly MUST comment on how >many hundreds of exposures you make? I was simply stating the fact that with my recent shoot, I was already able to account for a significant part of the cost of the *ist D. I would still have shot that much film w/o the digital. I learned a while ago that when you take one shot of something it becomes your best shot. I don't consider myself a digi person... I'd rather think of myself as an outdoor photographer.
