Hmmmm....I don't miss dealing with proof books, I don't miss dealing with wedding orders (massive amount of time), I don't miss the inability to shoot on speculation (cost of goods prohibitive), I don't miss wondering if I got the metering right in tricky situations, I don't miss shelling out lots of money to buy film and pay for processing (on my 67 it was about $1.35 per shot for film, develop, proof), I don't miss wishing I had a different speed film in the camera at a given moment, I don't miss trying to decide if I should 'burn' the roll out to get it in for processing because I wanted some of the pictures on it, I don't miss laboriously scanning negatives and slides.
I do miss the fleeting feeling of handing the film over to the lab (thinking all my work was done - NOT). I guess I don't really miss film all that much. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, February 3, 2009, 1:02:21 AM, you wrote: J> Hello J> Sometimes I want the film-days back.
