I dare ya!

Go out, shoot 36 or 24 pictures without the LCD screen then don't look at them for 2 days. Post your best one of the bunch right here. Be honest.

You got you a deal - I'll do this tomorrow, though, I always bought Ilford XP2 24 shot - so, I'm going for 24... OK?!...

Cool!

I'm gonna have to remember to check ALL the settings I can't see in the viewfinder before taping up the LCD...

Well i work part time for an Event photography company covering anything from awards nights to school formals, and guess what...... we still use film. we take the shots and develop them all within 3 hours usually, and get the prints back to the function before it ends
Being all digital myself it was a huge learning curve at the start, but i'm getting used to it now.

This sounds like fun. Will try to do some this weekend. Maybe use a film effects filter to put a Fuji Superia or something along those lines on it for the nostalgia.

You could just turn off the automatic image preview. That's what I'm planning on doing. Unless I'm overcome by the tempation of playback mode. Then I may have to break out the tape.

Sounds like a TON of fun! I will try this weekend... after my photo shoot... I will shoot on Sun and then post on Tues.

Plus, it also means that we will HAVE To shoot at the same ISO... That will be something we cannot change - with Film, was there a WB issue?
