Brian's post, linking to a rant on the problems with digital photography has left me with a fair bit to think about...

I've been toying with the idea of going to digital for a couple of years now. I was almost sold on the Canon A60/A70, but just can't afford to drop $500/$600 on a camera, despite a generous offer from K to pay for at least half.

But now I'm thinking that film is the better choice in the long run. I've already got the film camera and scanner setup at home, which has been working decently in the past. What I need now is a decent way of archiving the photos and negatives.

So as an experiment, I'm hauling (and I do mean haul - the sucker's HEAVY) my Autoreflex T3N along on our next hike. It has a standard 50mm lens, along with a 135mm telephoto lens, which should be great for capturing the mountains.

I'll let y'all know how it turns out.
