The D200 looks like a nice choice. But as I said in another mail, I don't want to go the digital route. I like making prints the old fashioned way.. I like the look of film, the grain.. I like playing with really old enlargers the size of washing machines.. I've invested so much money and time in film.. My girlfriend recently built me a print washer that you would not believe. It's incredible.. I also have more raw chemicals in my house then Ilford does! ;-) I'm going to stick with film for a while longer. J -- Justin F. Knotzke jknotzke@shampoo.ca http://www.shampoo.ca
