READ! I said BW film. Black and White! Try shooting some Tech Pan
full frame with some really good lenses and find out what 35mm
film is capable of. The color films you just mentioned

the 300D came out, months before the *istD.

My point JCO, is that I never shot Tech Pan before so why would I start now?
And why would I compare it to the *ist D? Apples and Oranges. Even I can
see that. I implied that the D replaced film *for me* and the way *I* make
pictures. I make no assumptions for other people and their styles.
And I'm holding on to my MZ-S primarily for sentimental reasons. I haven't
shot the first frame of film since getting the *ist D.

Yeah, so I here. Even at 20K a digital back still makes economical
sense to the serous pro who gets through lot of film. Apparently it
pays for itself in no time.

I am down to an old ZX-10 of my wife's and an *ist film camera that my
daughter uses. I don't expect to buy any other film cameras. The
ZX-10 is never used. My daughter uses the *ist right now, but in the
fall she is on the yearbook staff of her school - digital is how they
do things now.
