Hi, Shel. > Hey, good for you! I'd be interested in hearing what you think about it, > being an old "film fart" like me.
Har !!! > I've shot several flavors of the Fuji 400 - not my favorite film - much > prefer slower films. That's what I thought. A really deliberate shooter like you always tends to gravitate toward slo-o-w film - <g>. > But it does have its place. I especially like it for > B&W conversions in Photoshop more than for its color qualities. I use it a lot mostly for lots of wildlife and less than bright light work. (I use a slower film only for dedicated, specific occasions.) I always try to have some Fuji 400 loaded up and ready to go - lazy, I guess - <g>. > Yeah, buydig got the order. Price was a big factor, plus the store has > gotten lots of good comments here and on the net. And, thanks to you for asking all the DS and BuyDig.com questions lately - I've reading them and the answers (sort of as a "digital lurker" - <g>), and they weighed into my decision, too. [Of course, I was mostly hoping that the *ist D would have dropped even further in price - oh well...] > The price @ buydig has been dropping precipitously and it seemed a good > time to grab it.

[I'm still surprised that the DL often is advertised at a higher price - <g>.] Fred
