I see myself using my G5 for snapshots, and for checking before using
my OM stuff - checking for interest, framing, lighting etc... I think
that digital is invaluable for the immediacy of results, not
necessarily for that quality. I have taken some pleasing shots with
the G5 though... as a matter of interest, I find the RAW output
difficult to adjust (skies a little magenta?).
All in all, using a digital compact should improve my film photography
- something like Stephen was saying.
An (rather loose) analogy is airborne navigation: after I had used an
inertial navigation system with projected map display in the Jaguar, my
dead reckoning navigation became better without the system later on ...
I said it was a loose analogy ;-)
I use a darkroom tent in our second 'kitchen". It's not ideal as it's
a little ... compact, but it works.
