Lots of shots I've taken I couldn't have gotten using digital - I couldn't have reacted soon enough... I also couldn't have gotten them with camera's that required batteries for anything but a light meter... I couldn't react fast enough... a KX or an LX (without the winder) and a 50mm lens , tri-x - shutter speed at 250, f8 and hyperfocal distance set - and the camera around my neck requiring only that I lift the camera to my eye and click... This one is one that no matter how quick my reflexes were, the combination of having to turn on the camera and turn off the auto focus , etc... would have done me in, I think - because I was shooting through the dirty window of a train - if I had to change the auto focus I normally use shooting digital to manual and turn on the camera I'd have been dead - well, or gotten a different shot... also, there was much less to know about a manual camera - aperture, shutter speed, focus, ISO, DOF view, quickly changed with visible knobs. http://tinyurl.com/2vqkx5 The main benefits of digital to me are no dark room chemicals to inhale or dispose of. being able to "chimp" (when one is taking pics of something one can do a quick do over on) and quickly get my ebay stuff photo'ed and on line. the lightness of the camera - my LX feels like I'm carrying workout weights when I lift it now. and the speed with which I can see results ann > > >On 4/23/07, graywolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>Ok, just for the hell of it.
