Thanks, you are right, there is something i really like about holding that big camera [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] So far, the only digital i've used is the cheap hp one that came with my last computer. I do have a scanner that allows me to scan neg's and slides, but i have to use a bit of ingenuity (sp) when scanning the larger neg's as it is meant for 35mm but it seems to only crop off a bit of the side which really hasnt caused me any problems as of yet. I guess im just nervous about entering the digital realm as im not the most computer savvy person around. Most of what i do consists of using my wife as a model to improve my skills. I would love to someday have my own studio and make this a full time job. In that respect, it would seem that digital would be cheaper to use as a learning tool, but I have also read and been told that .........and i might be wrong........ you need to use film to learn correct lighting and composition etc, because it forces you to make sure everything is right before clicking the shutter. Digital on the other hand, if it doesnt look right, you just delete the file and do it again. Not meaning to offend anyone here, i dont know much about the digital world. I know there are alot of photographers that only use digital and produce beautiful results. Anyway, enough of me rambling. I do appreciate the comments and hopefully will come to a decision before long.
