Hi Jim! Sounds like a good use for a Nikon! I used to have an old 'F', and rather liked it, but *much* prefer the R series and Leitz/Leica glass. Question: When copying slides (to print film) I get a huge gain in contrast. Short of using a specialized copy film (I do too little of it to warrant that) can you (or anyone on this list) recommend a commonly available neg film with lower contrast (or any "tricks of the trade" that will lower contrast)? Thanks. - ----------- David Young | The customer is always right! Victoria, B.C. CANADA | Ignorant perhaps. Conufused,fickle, youngs@IslandNet.com | even abysmally stupid. But never wrong.
