Frank,

Well said.

I am luck enough to have an M8 and it is a great tool, but I really still 
enjoy film and a wet darkroom.  One great thing about everyone moving to 
digital is the drop in film camera prices.  I have recently move into MF by 
buying a used Hassy outfit for pennies on the dollar.  I got out my old 23C 
enlarger, picked up an 80mm lens and 6x6 negative carrier and I was in 
business.

I do some commercial work now and then and I do use the M8 on many of those 
activities, but it is surprising that recently I have been asked to use film 
particularly for B&W.

Best Regards,
Charles Hehl
Pottstown, PA
