Oh, you miss it? Well, that sounds like 'fun.' Yes, there is a learning curve with digital, just as there was and is with film. Mastering the curve can be a royal pain, but what one discovers as one does is that there are all sorts of possibilities along the curve that simply aren't available for film.;-) Film is of course wonderful, and if that's what you want to stick with, stick with it - but recognize that digital offers photographic possibilities George Eastman could not possibly have dreamed of.
