The reason is that with digital you know right off the bat if your exposure is off unless you are shooting real fast. I often check my monitor and histogram to make sure things are going will when I shoot digitally. Though not yet with an Epson. And check my focus too by zooming in and scanning around. It's like you're doing a Polaroid with every shot. And every shot IS the Polaroid. But IS the real thing as well! Its just a whole new ballgame. Very exciting! Less nerve racking. I just don't stop until I know I've got the shot. Beats shooting everything like crazy from every conceivable angle bracketing in every single possible way everything. For a whole roll. Now it's done in a couple of clicks or three or four. But lots of staring at the monitor. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
