I'm still looking for that perfect woman but I want mine airbrushed, not Photo-Shopped.  Also waiting for the new Contax G3 to be produced.

Film may eventually fall into an expensive niche market - cost being dependent on the actual market volume requirement and what type of company is actually producing the film stock. You may only have a mediocre and limited range from an off shoot of a Chi

Harryrag said, Brianshaw wrote instant results with lots of interesting image-enhancing capabilities, well, yes, if that is what you expect to get from photograpy, digital should be be the thing to go for.  I am after something else, (snip)  (

all those dolled-up overstyled fancy no-name beauty queens in their shiny fashion mags. Does any sensible person really think they look like that in real life?'
 
Who cares... real life is never as good as a good fantasy!
