That is truly the best advice. Learn to expose properly, and then you don't
have to waste film bracketing and you can dupe pictures instead. Though the
misses the longevity problem. Though I dare to say that it's something we
don't need to worry about for much longer. There will be digital storage
mediums where we won't have to worry about lost quality. Scanners have to be
more affordable, and work better to make us Leica users happy, but the time
is coming. 

What with RAM down to about $8 a meg, I can't imagine that storage isn't
going to become significantly cheaper too.
