You can't depend on some commercial outfit to do quality mass printing for you. We've been spoiled by the latest innovations in film camera and processing technology. My sister, who knows nothing about photography, shoots a roll of Kodaclolor in her automatic P&S and has it processed at supermarket and back comes many fine prints in duplicate, with negatives to boot. In a few years digital might reach that point, but until then digital is a labor intensive methodology if you want to get excellent prints. In my case, I do my work pre-exposure, not postexposure. I adjust the Oly 5050 as I do my M3. But it's clumsy in a prosumer. No analog controls. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
