[QUOTE="lls-indy, post: 3028, member: 610"] I agree with Greywoulf about film cameras. I held out until about 16 months ago, I had a Nikon N65 film camera with a couple of really nice lenses. The shutter stopped working and I took it in to the camera store and had a real heart to heart with the fellow there. #1, digital is cheaper because you can take 15 shots of the same thing and don't have to get them all developed to see IF you got what you wanted. #2 they are much easier to store than prints and negatives. Depending on the settings on your camera you should be able to produce photos that no one will know are from a digital camera. I have been taking some classes for a certification program and all 6 of my instructors have gone to digital, one of them just recently (she's a B&W film junky) and even she admitted that her digitals were sharper than her film shots. See if you can find a Nikon class on your D40, a lot of the mystery is in the menu, whether you shot jpeg or raw or how you have it set. Instead of investing in a film camera put the money in good glass, I don't think you will be sorry. Just my thoughts -- lls [/QUOTE]
