But you're still missing his point -- you're not factoring in the cost of printing the slides or negs. Personally, I (gasp) pretty much agree with you here: I don't buy the 'free' argument. I still shoot film, and I intend to for some time still, especially since the 6x7 transparencies I shot over the weekend look so nice and scanned really beautifully. Time to make some big prints! I do, however, believe digital to be an excellent alternative to the colour darkroom. No one's gettin' me off of that horse. ;) Mafud, do you want in on the PDML digital challenge, too? You're a big proponent of the wet darkroom, I'd like to try to blast your socks off with one of these prints. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
