Same here ... web-distribution. Paper prints done by Fuji Frontier. I
never see them. I ftp the files to the lab and they get picked up by
clients.

I still love my M's and use them a lot. But digital is just too lucrative
to pass up in favor of film. I've had my stuff one year now and am so much
in the black that I'm looking at some of those expensive lenses out there.
