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. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net 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 Alastair
