Film only used when slides were needed for a few years. My little Nikon 950 and 990 managed to make good enough images for what I was doing. I have a few rolls of B&W that recently moved from the fridge to the deep freeze. Nothing changed with DS except for big increase in digital image quality. > Did your subsequent actual film use match your prior expectations? I was surprised that I stopped using film when my early digital's image size achieved one megabyte (Olympus 600). That was enough for 4x6 prints, newsletter and small poster images. > 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? Kit lens with DS. Also due to change from M42 to K mount and a few good eBay deals: Pentax A 50mm 1.4, Sigma EX 50mm 2.8 macro, Pentax 2X rear converter and a couple of M42 to K adapters. Looking for a cheap, fast, good 28mm. (pick 2 of the 3) Powell
