I use film for fun, including 5x4 large format. I do not find it "better" than digital (that is an old and hackneyed argument which digital is winning). I do find, however, that is slows me down and makes me remember all the things I so painfully learnt 30 years ago. It is less "film" per se but the fact that most of my film cameras are older manual focus manual exposure models. I spent a few days in New York recently with a Pentax ES, 28mm and 50mm lenses and XP2 Super film. Some of the results are posted in the "My Pictures" section.

Do you find that it is almost impossible to have "no new messages"? As soon as I manage to look at one lot, another lot appears!

Given that good quality second hand lenses etc. are not loosing value why not try it and see? If you find it isn't for you, you won't loose anything selling the kit on, you might even make a profit.

I'd be interested in your findings. I am still looking longingly at a 6x7 outfit, but so far my head has won the battle with my heart.

Hello and welcome. I love my ES so don't neglect yours just because you have a new baby...

There are quite a few language based postings today and no sign of George.

Forums or fora are both OK, the former correct by usage the latter correct Latin.

Yay! K.

Very!

American spellings are originally due to Noah Webster's An American Dictionary of the English Language which deliberately tried to simplify English spellings and put clear water between the US and Great Britain. Thereafter, the languages evolved differently with some words being lost from English but retained in American and vice versa. I once caused giggles by using the word "fortnight" which most Americans associate with Jane Austin.

I find the development of languages fascinating!
