Bob,
That was true. But many clients are catching on to the fact we're not using 
film but they're still seeing charges as though we are.  But many are now 
saying, "hey wait a minute, how come this isn't going down in price when 
you're not using film? Yet we're still seeing charges as though there is 
film being used?"

And they are expecting price breaks when we shoot digital. So the "extra 
profit " isn't happening unless you have a way of making up the lost film 
revenue without ticking off the client and having them feel we're screwing 
them to the wall in profit gouging.
