I meant focus in the sense of business focus, not optical focus......

A (rough) million images in roughly 30 years ( since 1980) is  30,000
shutter clicks a year.  1,000 rolls of film a year.  $25K in film +
developing a year.

No wonder you bought an M8... or 2...... it was cheap!

Yes, there's lots I don't digitize.   Anything out of focus or badly 
under or over exposed.  But after many, many years, I make fewer of 
those mistakes.  I'm also my own worst editor.  I keep lots of stuff 
that I should throw away, thinking that someday I'll find time to 
work on it or some software will come out that will make it 
useable.  Putting a slide or negative in the round file or deleting a 
digital file is permanent, so I keep most of them :-(  My house 
burned to the ground in 1980 and I lost everything except photos that 
I had given to friends and families.  I've become something of a pack 
rat since then and keep EVERYTHING!!
