"Color luminance tool is a good one. Im being 100% serious: why wont you shoot digi instead of 35mm film? i mean, if you dont want to ruin the excitement, just cover the display on the camera."

"Ye, I do it in Bridge. Not much of a pain if one gets the habit of doing straight away. The basic stuff straight when you transfer the stuff from memory card. The rest when it comes an issue."

"I include exif data to almost all the stuff I shoot. Including, if I sell the photo, it will state the lenght of rights."

"I dont know if it has an effect. Why do you exactly want to change the heads?"

"The bulb is irrelevant to the power output, as long as it has the capacity to handle the power output of the generator. In this case, the actionpak, the gen out put is either 200 or 400w/s. You wont gain/lose any power by using a 800w/s or 2400/ws bulb. The heads might have an affect on the flash duration.

"by ruggedness i mean the ability to take physical abuse. Ive never owned a D700, just repeating fairly reliable quotes, regarding the AF; i guess it has a lot to do with what you use it for. 2 card slots are important to me. Not the case for most people, I guess. D3 is big, bulky, heavy, expensive and old. But it is different from D700"

"Does durability mean anything to you? Autofocus, do you use it? Long sequences (I dont know about the buffer in D700)? Do you need 2 card slots? These issues are the obvious pros of the D3 for me. I dont know if theres a difference in the image processing."
