I'm not advocating digital over film, or visa versa. But I also don't think digital is necessarily across the board cheaper/faster/easier than film. For instance, sometimes it's nice to just drop off film and a short time later have prints handed to me. It's worth the cost, particularly since I'm more careful when to press the shutter with film. Even though I have an efficient digital workflow (with way too much invested in software and hardware) it still can seem a chore at times to download and review files and generate prints. I already spend way too much time in front of a computer. So processing the "old fashioned" way has its appeal. I enjoy shooting film! It's easy. It's a nice escape. daveR
