(4x6" C-41 proofs are, for me, replaced by looking at the images on the computer.) I agree about the frequency of upgrades; when I say "only 500 rolls," that's still a lot for me. My K10D just rolled over 10,000 shots = ~300 rolls of film, and that's with me machine-gunning a heck of a lot more than I would with film. So if I replace it next year with a K-5, I'll probably just about break even with film, in terms of the body purchase. Not the computer or anything else, although that doesn't bother me for reasons I've expressed elsewhere in this thread. -- 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.
