Then again my wife and I and our kids were at a Globio presentation (www.globio.org) at the Oregon Zoo last night. Prior to the event we took our kids thru the zoo...with our D1 and S1 (and BD's old Nikon F in the Domke with B&W)... Nikon Apple epson and Pro Photo sponsored the event and I think there was a film camera somewhere on Nikon's table...but as much as we enjoy playing or using an M4-2 or baby Rollei the crush of digital is overwhelming... Of the perhaps 200 - 300 people at the event perhaps 100+ had cameras... the Nikon F and a couple disposeables were the ONLY film cameras in the crowd... BTW Nikon's rep metioned product annoucements for new SLRs in Sept and spring (with an asides about full frame sensors and a special gift for "guys like you with a whole bunch of old film bodies") - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
