Lately I've left my 30D at home on weekends, and felt liberated, somehow (probably because I associate digital capture with official work). And, in light of last week's announcement, I loaded my Retina IIa with some Kodachrome 64 (and an M3 with a roll of HIE) so I can get in some satisfaction before the end. It's a quaint feature of the Retina that the film reminder has film names, not ASAs - Super XX, Plus-X, Kodachrome Type A, Kodachrome Daylight, and Infrared.
