It has a lot to do with where you live....  Here in the US, there are a lot 
of JOBO processors.  While factory support may be gone,
there are a lot of old processors still around.  I can always buy another 
used one.  Probably OK for the foreseeable future.  If
worse came to worse, I can use SS tanks and a little mixology with the 
Photographers formulary.  That will see me through.

On the Hasselblad front, I really like my 201, but I realize it is not long 
in the support department for the reasons you stated.
Here, Hasselblad service on all the 200 series was done only at the factory. 
 The independent never signed onto the repair of 200
series cameras.

Now a landscape workshop with Barnbaum sounds like more than fun....  I have 
always wanted to take a workshop from him.. I have done
Sexton, one of his buddies, and I am working towards McSavveney, another 
compatriot ( who has his studio here in LA ).

Have fun, and do not allow yourself to think digital is better..... or 
quicker.  It is only different.

I'm off to Tasmania in 3 weeks to do a b/w landscape workshop with Richard
White and Bruce Barnbaum. I'm working like a devil to be ready and to try
to improve my printing, BUT it is obvious to me that if I really wanted to
get prints like those guys, a cheque and a little help from Epson would
speed me past the post ;-)

Cheers
