Digital.
I am on a blind pension, and I thought digital was the answer to all 
my problems. I used my LS2000 to put all my slides on CD. The ones I 
took in the 1960s had turned very dark blue, so I corrected them in 
PS7. The boy next door, looking over my shoulder said: "Why do all 
the people have green faces?"
Yes, I am colour blind, so I decided to make the move to B&W. I 
started my interest in Photography 50 years age - all B&W.
I can't see what I am shooting through the viewfinder but I can crop 
straighten etc in PS 7.
I am too tight to buy the latest digital camera for next week a newer 
one will have come out and mine will have plummetted in value.
OK I will take your advice.
I live in the country and cannot drive so I will search the web for 
more details on the Nikon SLR F65. I will have to use it with a fixed 
lens to get the brightest viewfinder - a 1.4 50 mm - and shoot in Tri-
X. For years my cameras were all fixed lenses, so I will be used to 
it.
I hope this will cover the "further information".
Thanks again.
Ken
