I'm finding I miss film a lot... but I tend to overshoot and that adds up to $$$ - plus a can't see what I'm doing in the darkroom anymore and it hurts my back something fierce - on top of that the people who did my color stuff moved way out of the neighborhood. But I tend to shoot digital as if I were shooting film - using the viewfinder and not chimping on site (except if I'm just doing informational stuff for ebay displays.). What I don't know is the digital equivalent of using a red, orange or yellow filter shooting in Black and white... is that only in post processing? or what about when you would use a polarizer? Grab shooting is more difficult too and boy I hate having everything grind to a halt if the batteries fail... annsan semi-back on list
