I'm still into film somewhat though I do keep a small Panasonic around for the "quick" grabbers(shutter lag causes me to miss more than I get). Just waiting for the "equal to" digital R to appear. The problem with film is really two fold. One our selections are dwindling rapidly. But the bigger problem is the quality processors are falling by the wayside faster than film is vanishing. After working with the USPS, and seeing how mail is handled I really don't cherish sending my efforts around the country and hoping that the finished product gets returned in one piece if at all. Mind you until just a year or two ago I was still stating that they would have to pry my SL from my cold dead hands. Axel The 80-200 is a superb piece of glass. Depending on your needs, I would put it high on the purchase list just for the convenience and versatility. I picked up Doug Herr's old one and havent taken it off the SL since. (Doug the box still has the little rattle though much more pronounced since I've taken the lens out :-)))) ------ >-- Regards YXAndy --------- Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
