I don't know anyone who shoots MF exclusively. While I much prefer to shoot MF, my 35mm will still always have its applications where it is preferred (speed, autofocus, the 600mm lens, speedy processing, etc). Digital is catching up fairly quickly, but I can still get a better scan from a 35mm slide on good film (provia-F or E100 or something like that) than any consumer digital camera out there. Until Pentax comes out with a digital body that I can use my already-acquired and paid for lenses, I will stick with film. Cheers! Brian - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
