In most other ways, it's not an issue. A 20D does things a Leica doesn't, and vice versa. A Sinar 8x10 does things a Minox doesn't, etc. Use what you can accept and gets you what you like or need. I like my digitals, I like my film cameras. It's not an either/or situation except on a given day and dependant on my load carrying capacity/willingness. I haven't gotten a Canon 1D type camera, because I would be reluctant to haul it around. If I don't haul it around, it's useless as a camera. On the other hand, I often go out with 3 cameras and 10 lenses. In my universe, that's reasonable and a 1D body isn't. So what. -- * Henning J.
