Did your pics look professional? That's all that matters.... I guarantee coming in with an MZ-3, a zoom lens, an old-fashion flash and a cheap tripod didn't do go a long way to making you appear like a pro. But who cares... you're not a pro so don't worry about it...
Vic I shot B&W and developed the film yesterday. If by "pro" you mean well-exposed, nicely composed, sharp and with no horrible flash shawdows, then Yes, the negs do look pro! I took my cheap tripod instead of my more substantial Manfrotto since I had to pile my gear in a commuter van! My MZ-3 looked quite impressive next to the point and shots everyone else had. The only other SLR I noticed was a Minolta with program modes with a off-brand 28-200. For the record, I am not a "pro" but rather a Photraphy/Digital Imaging student at the Community College. I WANT to be a pro, so I'm excited when I get hired to shoot stuff! I spend all my $$ on film and other supplies but I do allow myself to fantasize about the MZ-S and other pro bodies. Margo
