Another old bugger. Hooray to us 50 year olds.
I'm currently on board a plane to New York and am planning to join the dark
side.
A long time film user, I had a digital P&S (Optio 330) which packed up when
I took it skiing last month. I've now worked out that an istDL at £300
equivalent (Adorama prices) is better than spending £200 - 250 on a new
digital P&S.
The list has until 0930 Sunday (EST) to persuade me otherwise.
Also is it worth the extra $90 to buy an 18 - 55 or should I leave that and
get a better lens?

Does being 50 make me "elderly"?
Or is it that I prefer chemicals for good monochromatic prints?
But to the question ...
No. They just prove the inferiority of digital.
Everything is faked. Approximated.
Want to improve them and really give them the "old" look?
Take out the blue component first. Then convert.
Plate and tin type emulsions had little or no blue sensitivity.
There may be other fixes as well, but that comes to mind first.

I have the feeling that today's activity dropped a notch (march
break?) so I thought about asking to the eldery members if this effect
makes photos look like when you first started photography ;o)
