You hit the nail on the head with that comment, Mark. The kid I was quoting had never used film before. He was saying that he feels more in control using a manual camera, also. That when he is shooting digital he feels like the camera is taking the photos, not him. Needless to say I think he is a real smart kid, as that means that it is not just us old fogies that feel that way.
