Yes.....Well, I also like having the "hard copy" of my slides. (I almost
exclusively shoot slide film) And, I rather like the brilliant colors of
the
slides, too. I seldom project them. but I view them with a high quality
loupe against a special light box that I built just for that purpose. I
also
play around with digital by scanning them into my computer and screw with
the images with Photoshop......Everything except take the images with a
digital camera to begin with......I just have a hard time laying out 3 or
4
thousand dollars for something that I know will be obsolete in 18
months......I know it's not very reasonable, but that's the way it
is......
