Dave,

This is why the Rochester Institute of Technology  has gone  from teaching
digital photography as a separate course to teaching begining photography
digitally.--Instant feedback. But I don't think even RIT is going to buy 100
LF digital backs just yet.

Back in the 80s when strobes were in and hot lights were as old as Tom
edison I bought Polaroid by the case, Now as my physical eyes deminish I've
gotten a better inner eye so I don't need the Polaroid.  But I'd hate to be
starting out now,  I thought a buck a sheet was painfully expensive.
