Almost no one needs to be held up for the want of a simple twist 
to the next frame, the motors on later film cameras were mostly a 
big wank. Good for sports photography. I never said digitals were 
not faster for many things.

You either have experienced and been handy with a completely 
manual and simple camera like Nikkormat, darkrooms, and noticed 
the things I have said or you have not.

What is the point of saying this at this stage in the thread, no 
one is disputing it and it is obvious to all.

o please stop. A good photographer will bracket very quickly and 
if he or she misses out, that is nice too. Always winning is a 
horrible little desire and conceit of this idiotic consumer age. 
Slow down, relax. sell your car, get a horse, teach it to talk.
