I too sucumbed to digital, selling my mint champagne
Om4Ti a year back and buying a 3030Z Olympus, however
although the pics I get from the Digi are great, they
still don't compare with 35mm (and interchangable
cheap lenses), especially slow colour slides
(kodachrome 64 etc) so I bought an OM1md, then some
more lenses, and then an OM4!! I figure I'll use the
digi more for quick "snaps" and also saving film by
using the digi to take "sample pics" of a scene and
then transferring the settings to my 35mm (shutter
speed, aperture etc) thus using my digi to test
settings before committing them to film.

I see a future in both formats :-)
