Unless "Hit" means the neg goes platamum. $100 in print sales per click? Clarify!! Take our a tape measure and lay out 4 feet. Now set your camera at 4 feet with a 35 or 28 or 24 lens. Now walk around the house or studio and when you get 4 feet from things hit the shutter. Do the same at weddings. I did! Made a zillion dollars!!!! Mark :-) Rabiner give or take You don't even need to look thought the damn camera!!!
