Digital is very convenient, but you can't match the resolution you get from a B&W darkroom print with digital. And you have to put up with those annoying widely spaced dots which make up the highlights. Give me the darkroom for a fine print, any day - particularly with the superb resolution of Leica lens. Just can't pack into an 8MB file what you can pack into a 35mm neg taken with a Leica. And there are things I can do in a darkroom which, as a result of the limits on the tonal range I can scan and manipulate with Photoshop, that I simply can't do with digital. On another topic, Adeal in Australia have just replaced my Leica M6 HM with a new TTL over the neg scratching problem. Just thought I'd register my appreciation for this kind gesture on the LUG.
