Digital IS fine.

I can fix most of my digitals in my computer if I have bracketing problems.

My problem is the automatic 35mm. I am not doing badly with the pastels and the flash is great on most everything, but the visual framing distortion is very tricky on small format pieces. I have two notches in from top and side to help you guide to see where the viewfinder distortion will correct but I am still taping like mad just to make things square. And I prefer natural light, but find external light will trick it often and I can't see the blue until I get them back from the lab.

Even a cheap digital with the advantage of being able to throw out 99% of the bad ones to get the good one, nearly guarantees I have my shot. And my average is much higher on 35mm to keep me away from the websites that create slides from digital files!

Thank you, I AM resourceful. What I need to be is a bit less creative and more predictable. You have no idea how many times I have reinvented the wheel.
