The View from the Ground

So how's things with the digital camera then Mr Eye? Well so far so good there are things I like - not having to cart around loads of different sorts of film and a spare camera body are the most important two - and when you consider that a 2GB compact flash card is equivalent to about six or seven rolls of film that's quite a bit of time saved on developing and scanning negatives. Not quite so sure about the lenses yet - as I did not get a camera with a sensor the same size as a 35mm negative the focal lengths are a little bit out and at the moment it's a bit difficult to compare them with the old zuikos on the OM2.
The thing I miss the most is not having an aperture ring on the lens - it's all set by the camera but I'm sure it's something I can get over....
