  Yes. Auto mode all the way. BEcause my idiot cam got nothing to control anyway.
  
  My other 12 rolls are in slides form...haven get them scan yet. Will scan a handful of them.
  My digicam is 35mm....u can imagine how much is lost when my tour mates are damn happy with their fish eye lens.
  The statues are just too huge to be true.............

  ur tour mates were shooting with fisheyes?
  
  dun think u need fisheye lar, 20mm can liow, on ur film cam. fish eye to me is more like a gimmick, distortions are too er... distorted? hehehe.
  
  anyway i like wide lenses, but they're not cheap, and it's hard to get really wide on digital.

  Forgot to tell you. Some of them are using S2 Pro, 10D and D100 DSLR.
  Magnification is 1.5-1.6x. So using a 20mm wide angle lens might not help.
  
  I am using EOS 300 Duh.........
  My film cam 28mm very very squeezy loh. Perhaps 20mm is ok for me lah.

  yeah was referring to 20mm on ur cam.. that would be a prime lens liow, or u could use a 16-35L which erm.. is EXPENSIVE
  
  for those digital users, sian liow, like i said very hard to get wide with digital becos of this FOV crop. unless use different system like the oly four thirds system that's a totally new mount and sensor size. even then they haven't made lenses for that system that wide, but it's on the way..
  
  for nikon at least still have the 12-24DX.. which equates to 18-36 for normal 35mm. no more wider liow.. for canon, boh liow, widest is 16mm, times 1.6 is 25mm...
  
  there's a 14mm EF prime... but i've never seen or heard of it, but it's on the product list... and frigging ex...
  
  even my dream cam now isn't a full frame cam...

  That is why loh. Haiz....places like that...already wan to charge the battery also hard. They aint got much electricity. Imagine the supposingly 5 stars hotel that I am staying gets about 3 times power failure per day?
  Think go totally digital cannot. Using digital as a back up camera is more like it
