I said; "Someone recently pointed out that flash memory is now cheaper than 35mm film, ie if you threw away the flash memory after you had developed your pictures, as with film, it would still be cheaper. You said; That's a stretch! You are correct, I just had a look myself, seems that flash is about 2x - 3x the cost at the moment based purely on pictures taken. OTOH if you reckon that on any given roll some percentage of the pictures are no good, whereas nearly all your digital pictures should be good, then flash probably is cheaper now per 'keeper'. I used to reckon on 5 or 6 'keepers' from a roll. That would make flash 1/2 the cost of film :-) Tw
