[Leica] Trip to the Sequioas: analog and digital, like steel and wood

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard F. Man)]

Definitely agree that digital is instant gratification, but really, the 
scanning film is not a major problem. It does add to the cost, but you can 
either spend major bucks and get a scanner with bulk film roller (Nikon is 
the only ones I know of, but I can be very wrong), or just have the lab 
scan them when you develop them. Either will cost you, but it is not a bad 
way to stay w/ analogue capture route.
