This is just a general observation spurned by some recent comments: What I find amusing and quite revealing is that the people who are vocal regarding DSLRs aren't saying film is crap why would you bother etc however the pro-flim lobby seem often to try to degrade the value of digital image capture. The benefits of digital image capture are not just fast turn around, there are many, colour control and accuracy being one just one area in which film can't compete. I prefer the digital work-flow regardless of the media that I'm shooting, I consider scanning film to be both tedious and a waste of my time let alone sloppy WRT colour control. Image files derived from a film source are not a direct substitute for a first generation digital image file. I won't go on however fellow listers must respect that digital image capture has a place in photography and is current technology. Pentax stuck a solution under our noses then whipped it away, that's one reason people are asking where the damn thing is. In any case it's just a valid a topic of discussion on this forum as are PUG matters or PDMLers meetings. It's pretty easy to delete threads that appear to be on no interest, so do it. BTW I love film :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html
