I'm mostly ambidextrous ... My mind can't remember which way to go. I did color chemistry in my home darkroom once upon a time. After spending what for me was an honest fortune and several months' effort, I realized that I could have had better prints by dropping the film at the corner drugstore and paying a pittance. And had them tomorrow. Digital capture, image processing and printing does far better than the corner drugstore. I'm in it for the photographs, not the journey of processing! ;-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
