Initial cost is indeed a factor. But I sure save in film and processing. But the big saver for me is the travel to film store to drop off, travel to pick up, day after day. Then there's the scanning and diddling is way reduced. I'm free to take photos more which is what I really like too! Take the price of a good scanner off a DSLR and you don't have to shoot much to start saving money on film and processing. Provia 100F is about $12 US here, processing brings a roll of 36 up to over $20 US. It really adds up. I know, we've been here before, but some still aren't getting with the picture :-) -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Standard Poodles for fun BMW motorcycle for pleasure
