Chris, I agree with your comments. We are gradually making sense of the Can*n.
It does seem a robust, well thought out camera.
There are obvious advantages in being able to preview results, but it just
seems a lot to remember at once.
I suppose I take for granted what I have learned about "Film" over the years,
and using the Olympus now seems second nature. If I go down the digital route
it will probably be scanning in negs and printing with Epson scanner.
This is becoming much more likely, I went into school to do some printing
(1/2 term) to find the darkroom unusable. Dev trays left out for 5 days and the
whole place left like a tip by an art group :-( Packs of paper open, Prints
and negs everywhere, including the FLOOR, sink piled high with dirty measuring
jugs,all this in a space about 8' x 6'!
Would have taken 2hrs just to be able to work in there! Closed the door and
walked away. I will go ballistic next week when I see the staff responsible. No
room for dark room at home so scanning becomes the preferred option.
