Thanks Don, your words are really very, very kind. 
For the moment I still find film..., but you are right, what will be in ...
5 years?
Saludos cordiales,
Luis

Luis,
There is another argument and that is film is going to become very scarce
and expensive.  Trying to find Tri-X in 36 exposure here in Atlanta is next
to impossible.

Really, it comes down to how much descretionary money you have available and
whether you choose to part with older "toys" that you may or may not want
anymore.

As long as you keep showing your wonderful visions from Spain any decision
you make is a good one.
