It won't require a doctorate in Photoshop to produce the print and the whole thing cost about 1/4 of what it does today. Even though current technology is not there yet, it is getting pretty close. When that happens you can be sure that only those afflicted with acute nostalgia will stick with film.

On the one hand you you're up against those who think that having a leica makes you a kind of guerilla photographer who shoots tri-x at 3200 and must shun flash, tripods etc. on principle, and on the other those who have an unreasoned hostility to digital. Since both these positions are completely unexamined and irrational, your extreme rationality pisses both camps off. Most likely many of those who hate and fear digital are _also_ shooting tri-x @ 3200.
