I do own a Nikon Scanner and a very good quality Epson Printer. Well, very 
good for colour prints at least. It's B&W output isn't anywhere near the 
same league as silver prints from the darkroom. 

I shoot 95% B&W, mostly Tri-X now, and I like to work in the darkroom while 
listening to either music of my choice (and at my volume) or talk radio (in 
Canada this is usually CBC). 

For me, the whole point is to do something I love to do, using the equipment 
of my choice. For now it's Leica M or SLR camera's and even more importantly 
Leica glass and some quality time in the darkroom. Economics is secondary to 
the experience.

I'll look at Leica's upcoming digital back for my R8 when it is released for 
sale and either buy it or wait some more to see the digital M. 

Regards,

Greg
