Best, Cotty >You had me chuckling as you related your experience. I have had a >similar experience with MF. There certainly does seem to be a mindset >difference when you use the bigger camera. I enjoy it more and yes, >more of my shots are well executed on MF. 35mm can be too easy to use >and thus it is easy to waste shots or try for shots that you know deep >down won't turn out that well. > >I have found that the shorter rolls tend to also make you think just a >bit more. Fewer "insurance shots" and just a bit more care to take >the proper shot in the first place. > >I think that it is a good idea to use the right tool for the right >situation. I, too, think there are situations where 35mm is the right >tool over MF (fast action and long lenses come to mind), but after >looking at those big negs and subsequent blowups, you have to admit, >there is a large difference in the quality. > >Good luck as you build up your kit. I have found that I don't >need/want quite as many lenses (all relative you know!) for the big >camera. The negative gives you a little more working room. > > >Bruce Dayton _______________________________________________________ Personal email traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MacAds traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out the UK Macintosh ads http://www.macads.co.uk - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
