Hi Gang............... Most of my work is in Theatrical Photography. 90% of my orders are for 8x10's. I could print a great 8x10 from a 35mm negative. But because of dust and stuff appearing on the negative I went to medium format (RB67). I went to using digital a year ago.(Olympus E-10) I haven't used the Nikons or the RB since. It is sooooo mush easier to deal with spotting and retouching than with a negative. Just my two cents................... By the way............. The Scott Kelby book is particularly great if you shoot Portraits. Russ R.E.
