I would like something better than my 3Mp Pentax point and shoot and not quite the weight of my RolleiFlex SL35 or my Nikon FG. When I am serious, you and I will speak and I will be much more focused in the photo store. Chris,

That version, while wonderful and better in many ways, is just overkill for what I need now and was a little beyond my pocketbook at the time. The original 5D (now at least six years old) has held its value compared to other digital cameras of that 'era' because of the image quality, but can be had for about 1/2 what the Mk II costs. If you are seriously thinking of upgrading your equipment, give me a call and we can talk a bit about options.

I have found it to be true. One of the things that attracted me to the 5D in the first place was many people talked about how its drawing had a kind of film-like quality. I have found it to be true.

I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful results. The close-up of the melting icicle is outstanding.

Great story Chris I think we've all been there. :) I keep coming back to look at the snow image to remind myself you don’t have to shovel rain. Great story Chris I think we’ve all been there. :)

The composition, the depth of field. That's digital??? My snow blower would require 3 passes, at least, for that snow. that top images of the icicle is just amazing.

It will be nice to see the images that you develop later on, too. I took a couple of rolls of Kodak Tech Pan this weekend. I can't wait to see the results. The film expired in 1999, but I'm sure that it's still good some 10 years later. That is a crazy amount of snow that you have there. That's about 5 years worth of NC snow!!! I'm glad that you have the snow blower or you'd be one tired fella! That does sound like a whole lot of fun. It will be nice to see the images that you develop later on, too.
