comments stand.

Happy New Year!

I think 35mm film doesn't have any advantage over CCD other than cost -
but
that's a big one. Also, starting with film and moving to CCD is a good
way
to get your feet wet before spending the megabucks. Film can't compare
with
CCD in sensitivity. I still use it though, because I find the color
saturation of film and the smaller stars appealing.

Happy New Year!
