I never stopped, Jim!!!  It is just so much easier to use digital :-(   I 
dread the thought of developing more film, which will hang with all of the 
other unfiled rolls of film on the racks in my office.  When I get back 
from Honduras, I will have less film this year, but still enough to be 
intimidating.  I'm just going to have to break down and hire somebody to 
help me, but I don't trust anybody but myself.  One misfiled negative is 
lost forever.  Digital goes straight into the computer and straight on a 
CD.  I was in the Great Smoky National Park for ramp festivals last 
week-end  The digital files are already in my stock files, the film is 
still in the camera.

There is no digital equivalent to the Noctilux, however.  So I guess I'm 
stuck with old-fashioned film for the low light that is all I find in 
Honduras.  The M7 should help if I leave the aperture at 1.0 and keep 
cocking that winder!

Leically,

Tina
