Dear Neill
Gut instinct says you've got the shot with film AND digital. The beauty of digital is knowing you've got the picture for sure (checking it's sharp and correctly exposed just for starters). Hanging around at the lab was never much fun, even with good food at Saint's cafe in London. The pain, and sometimes utter trauma, of waiting to see if you had the shot, is not something I yearn to go back to.
I try not to use the preview screen too much too, I just set it to check the
historgam.
Er, let me get this right. You have just taken the shot of Saddam, Bush and Blair having a group hug - and you would check the histogram?
Used with care and skill, the preview screen is invaluable.
