Thorny,
Some years past, I was in magazine photographer/writer mode, and bought some cameras that were not digital, and not 35mm.

I don't have much to write about anymore, and the only camera I own is a lowly Cannon TX, 1970 vintage, purchased used from the St. Paul school system, and "hot rodded" if you will, with a later model Cannon 1.4 AE lense, which doesn't work in automatic mode, of course, but still gives up crisp, color saturated photos.

When everything was said and done, every picture I ever sold to a magazine came out of that little camera. Several photos appeared in articles by others (including our own Larry Brown) and nobody complained.

Since I'm just getting the whole film thing figured out, I'm hesitant to move to digital, same as folks were hesitant to move from black powder to smokeless. I'll be dragged kicking and screaming, someday, but, not today.

And you have already seen my Tobin, anyway.
Best,
Ted
