Yeah; without developing/printing my own film, and while using 35mm, it's not that big a difference. But I still need to determine how much a DSLR that matches my film camera in quality would be, and looking at them, I probably can't afford it right now. Though it'd probably mean savings in the long run.
I have an enlarger and all that stuff, but when am I going to do all that? And it'd only be b&w, which is awesome, but not for everything.
I know you can use digital focus on a DSLR, my point was more about the pride of knowing--and everyone else knowing--that anything I take with my Minolta was done manually. I see all these crisp digital shots of snails and things and think, "but they probably weren't sitting there for a whole minute trying to get just the right distance for each shot." Which I'm well aware sounds very snotty.
