Don,
I'm in the same boat as you; huge film based
investment and unwilling to part with it. Primarily
because I still don't believe that digital can give me
all I can achieve with film. No need to go into the
details; just my personal opinion.
But that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to play with
some high end digital stuff; just can't part with the
$s. :-)
