Maybe still 80/20 in favor of film. 99% of conventional printing is b&w, but I occasionally will do color. To date, most of my digital work is simply to be shared online. Though I have an Epson Photo 1200 printer, I rarely use it for photos. Darkroom gear includes LPL 4x5 enlarger with VCCE & color modules, Fujinon-EX and Schneider Componon-S optics, Jobo film processor, RH Labs Analyser Plus. Digital imaging is not new to me! I have been doing it since around 1986 using a Mac 512K, Macvision digitizer and HP ThinkJet printer. In 1995, I was carrying around an Apple Quicktake 100 camera, Duo 230 notebook computer and printing out on a StyleWriter 2400 color inkjet printer. I may still have one or two printouts around somewhere-pretty awful! I'll continue to use digital where it seems appropriate (GREAT for PAW types of projects), and certain aspects, such as layering multiple images for contrast control or outputting to Crystal Archive or Ilfochrome, interest me. Two things on my photo wish list are (1) a high quality all-in-one digital camera offering full manual control, and (2) an 8x10 Shen Hao view camera.
