[QUOTE="Ima93m4k3r, post: 561837, member: 42292"] I heartily agree with that. Without wanting to appear a Luddite, I often think however superb the technology of digital photography has become, the young have been denied that sense of mystery (what was on that roll exactly?) or that pleasant surprise when the roll came back as proofs or prints and you saw one or three were excellent, or as in your case, the magical process when the image manifests in the developing tray. Then too it does have its upsides: You can see what is effective or not immediately, and do a second or a third take until you are happy. We film users could not usually afford to blow a roll so easily and in my case, I can no longer be around chemicals so send my black & white film out. Finally, saddest of all, it is heartbreaking to see wonders of camera design and technology going for pennies or to waste entirely. I urge the nikonites who are born into the digital age to look, compare, wait until the light is right, then squeeze the shutter: the aim has not changed, to Photograph means to Draw/paint with Light.
