I am a keen amateur but I find, whilst I - much - prefer using my M6 a digital camera suits my requirements much better. I take a camera everywhere but rarely take more than a handful of shots. The ability to change ISO to suit conditions and to download my pictures as soon as I get home are the deciding factors for me for everyday use. When we went on holiday to Iceland this August I took film and digital cameras - I took 12 rolls of film and 1400 digital pictures. Due to lack of spare time I have so far scanned 4 frames from the film (one evenings work for me) but I have looked at a fair proportion of the digital shots. If there is a digital M which feels like my M6 and at least matches 35mm film I will almost certainly get one, I much prefer the M to a reflex and will be glad to be able to use my lovely M and LTM lenses more often again. all the best, Frank On 3 Nov, 2005, at 01:13, SonC@aol.com wrote: > > > In a message dated 11/2/2005 7:11:24 P.M.
