Do the numbers, I have. It's actually quite a bit more expensive than if you develop and print your own film, or even have the drug store develop it. > and far less messy than having a darkroom and > offers a lot > more control Yes it does, but that wasn't the issue, price was, and digital, in my experience, just isn't cheaper. Also, you get the quality of film, and the control of digital, by scanning film, which is the primary method I use for any serious work. For happy snaps, I simply shoot film and get it developed and printed 2 for 1 for $14 at the local drug store...and they come out fantastic. My time is worth far more than the $20 ($14 plus film of $6) it costs me to get 76 pictures from the local drug store...and the quality (as I shoot with a good camera and film) is superb, and as I said, throwing them in a box marked "2002" is really inexpensive and simple. > This [digital] is good > workflow. Yes it is, but it isn't cheaper ;-) Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
