3. I've had a 35mm and a digital

and to tell the truth, I prefer the 35mm. I don't take a lot of pictures, but when I do, it's outside. With the 35, I can look through the view finder, frame the picture, and I can SEE the view. The digital (which I call point-and-hope) does not have a view finder and when I want to take a picture, I can't see what I'm pointing at on the screen because the sunlight blocks it. I've looked around for a small digital that has a view finder, but they don't make them. I haven't looked at the large digitals because they are out of my price range. So, as long as I can get the film, I'm going to stick with the 35. There are issues with that, of course, but I do scrapbooking and I prefer to have printed pictures I can work with.

I have a Canon DSLR. In most ways it's like a 35mm. cherokeeprogressive May 2012 #5
