My R8 attracted snow the way house trailers in Florida attract tornados, and the old 6 mpixel Nikon/Kodak gave me 1/2 second exposures as it's old enough to be only an 80 ASA/ISO.. no tripod with me and I probably wouldn't have used one anyway because it was just too cold to be futzing around with one. Nevertheless I think that I may have squeezed of a couple of good ones with the R8 using Provia F 400 and will try again early tomorrow with the 19mm Elmarit instead of the zoom. Unless it's bright enough the digital will stay SCSI'd up to the Mac. What do you folks who have worked in a snowstorm with its overcast used for film... or "filum" as the old geezer down the street calls it. (I'm getting old, but not yet into gezzerdom.)
