You haven't seen good inkjet prints ;-)  But then again I don't 
usually look at my prints with a 20x loupe. I hold them at arm's 
length or stand across the room and look at the content not the ink dots.

I totally disagree about the quality of digital.  Digital surpasses 
almost all film.  And I'm using the same lenses with digital that I 
did with film.
