Thanks Don,
Of course!...now I've seen the pics I see what I should've realised in the first place.....I was scratching my head for ages wondering why the metering wouldn't work on the D80 I tried!
Having just finished processing this afternoons rugby shots...the faint but lingering wiff of E6 chemicals in the back bedroom courtesy of Jobo drum processor reinforces the desire for digital...
ah well, time to save those pennies
thanks again
