Or probably, and more correctly, they have been added to. You can decide before you push the shutter, but you can also try things out later, in the digital world, at home, on your computer, if you used a color camera. It is the art of making the image rather than taking the image. Personally I think it makes us more successful in rendering our emotions of the moment....past or present. Ansel made some prints for years... and they differ in contrast, depth, even the mood over those years. Is it any different than the digital world? Our past and present emotions effect the outcome. Certainly the MM is a wonderful image maker. But another $7K? Of B+W only? Not for us normal, working class, amateur retirees. Maybe when the CMOS version of the MM happens and the price of the used, CCD MM drops to $500.... (two zeros, not three)... Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net Missing the colours is not a fault of the MM. It is a decision made in previsualisation by the photographer and as such is no difference that the decision to shoot on Kodachrome or Tri-X. Gerry
