I suppose AA would need to make a decision somewhere along the line whether to continue his darkroom printing or move to digital. Once thing then would be certain: there would be two AA markets: those who prefer his darkroom prints setting one price in dealing with each other; and the post-darkroom market. Let's recall that AA printed for 40+ years and so there is a very large body of darkroom prints held by collectors and museums. Even if AA were still with us, his digital prints would constitute a very small proportion of his output. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
