    Thanks chaps.

    Bought myself a slide/neg scanner just after Christmas so it's had quite a hammering with the amount of 35mm stuff I've got here. Will ad to this thread as & when. Despite film not having quite the clarity/low noise/grain of digital, there is something rather special about the colour and rendering, and a sense of realism almost.

    Even bought myself a nice old OM-2n to get back into film again.

    I've kept a Pentax P30T and an MV with a few lenses that fit both. Dunno why really, I'll never use them.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Thanks Marco - don't see why a 'picture a week' thread couldn't evolve here as well as anywhere else.

    Will add to this, as & when.
