Funny, I was and am so very much into nature photography which was all about Kodachrome (and then E6 and now digital), that having a darkroom or being able to make my own prints was moot. More important to me was the nail exposures and compositions. For my printing now, which usually involves large (20x30 and beyond) prints, I trust it all to mpix. -- Christian ------------------------------------- http://404notfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.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.
