Any chance we can play "Stupid Questions Time" for a second? What is the difference between slide film and print film? If I use slide film am I going to have any problems if I want to get prints made?

Print film is negative film - when the film is processed, you get negatives which are used for printing (or more likely, scanning and then printing). "Neg" film has more exposure latitude, meaning that in high contrast lighting you have a better chance of holding both highlight and shadow detail. This may not always be what you want, however.

Slide film gives you slides (you probably figured that out... ) Less exposure latitude but amazing colors. Slides can be scanned for print making but be warned that this leads to all kinds of time spent in front of the computer obsessing over details. There was a darkroom process for making prints from slides (Ilfochrome or Cibachrome) but it's not very likely you'll find anyone who does it anymore. I had one made in Chicago several years ago and it was very expensive - and I don't prefer it to good quality digital print, either. Bottom line, you can make prints but it will take time.

Cool camera - I have one myself but I don't think anyone believes me because I haven't posted shots from it. Unfortunately I can't scan until I get around to getting the computer it's connected to (SCSI device) up and running again. But you'll see... I have bought Wein Zinc-Air batteries from B&H before and they work well but don't last very long, which is the nature of that type of battery.

You keep saying that Steve, but I am starting to have my doubts!

Come on!
