Putting my 35mm film cameras on ebay in 1999 and shooting only DIGITAL with my NEW Kodak DC-50 digital camera. It was not until 2008 that I realized the film was still a better option. My son's life from age 4 to age 12 was captured only on digital 1MP to 6MP. My hatred of 1 hour labs was too powerful.

I have since repented and shoot film.

One of biggest blunders I made(and I made quite a few!) A fish eye lens that was in my coat pocket fell out and rolled into a deep pond. Never did find it. I bought another one sometime later.

Maybe you should have tried a different bait. (sorry, I just couldn't resist.... you know... fish-eye, pond etc... it's ok, nobody here laughs at my jokes either... :rolleyes
