OK we've now got quite a few DSLR owners on board with a bit of use behind
them, how about a quick informal usage survey?
For those DSLR users with 35mm gear who thought before buying their DSLR that
their 35mm film usage would:
Remain the same? Be halved? Become occasional? Become specific (i.e. B&W only or high ISO or slide only)? Cease all together?
Did your subsequent actual film use match your prior expectations?
For users who had Pentax SLRs prior to purchasing a Pentax DSLR did you end up
buying one or more new lenses specifically to suite the DSLR?
Cheers,

My first foray into digital was with Oly, but when they dead-ended the E10/20 series I came back to Pentax and the *ist-D. Lost my shirt on that system!
- I expected that my 35mm film usage would be occasional.
- It actually ceased altogether for a couple of years; I'm beginning to get back into it recently.
- I bought several DA lenses, including the esteemed 16-45mm, and the 14mm, but I ended up getting a lot of new FA glass as well. Curiously, I've also gotten a number of the older MF M- and A-series primes as well. Godfrey stirred my interest with his comments at DPReview on the pleasures of a more contemplative style using these lenses.
