I don't think 35mm film will provide you with any advantage unless you
have a killer lab that can make a great print or scan with a high-end
machine and print digitally. However, medium format film would
definitely be a plus compared to the *istD or any Pentax digital for
that matter. If you do shoot with the *istD you can have the file
upsized with Genuine Fractals. That will give you a bigger file
without increasing pixel size.

I was pretty sure of that already.)
2) Always carrying an SLR around provides a handy clue for
folks looking for a photographer to do a family portrait.
2a) This'll be the second gig in a row since getting the
*istD where I'll be shooting film. Huh. (Client
wants a poster-sized print and wallets -- please do
correct me if I'm wrong, but my thinking is that for a
20"x30" print, I probably want to be using a fine-grained
film instead of the *istD ... right? I know 300 dpi is a
good rule of thumb for most prints, but assuming most
folks don't stand that close to a print that large,
what's a good minimum resolution to aim for in a poster
sized portrait?)
2b) As usual, I have no $#%^ing idea what a reasonable
rate to charge is. Gonna attempt to Google up a clue.
