That¹s the digital that I keep looking at.  Being able to use all my 645
lens on it really makes it attractive.  Of course, I could use my Nikkors on
a D1/X as well.  Somehow that¹s not quite as appealing...  That all being
said, there are about 100 things that I need more than either of those 2
bodies.  I guess I'll just stick to playing with my 995 for the time being.
It's great for things like parties and family get togethers.  It also is
pretty handy as a digital 'Polaroid back'.  I used as one yesterday to check
lighting ratios for a multiple light interior portrait session I was doing
on location.  Worked great.  I wish I could say the same for my new Sekonic
L608.  The radio trigger that was supposed to fire off the lights using
PocketWizards would not do it's job farther than 10 feet away.  Good thing a
had brought an extra remote.  Anyone had a similar problem with the 608?  To
keep this sort of on topic.  The portrait client is going to have some of
the enlargements done with MIS VM prints from my 1160.  For this image I
think I will be doing a dual tone print.  A cool/neutral background and a
warm subject.  The subject was in backlit with natural light at sunset and
the background interior was selectively illuminated with the strobes.

Sorry about the MAJOR thread drift.  Geez must be the ADD kicking in or the
pain killers from the recent broken rib.
