Someone forgot to figure in that digital allows you to shoot more when
wanted and try different things and redevelop your Raw files and change ISO
on the fly and the price of good transparency film ( > $1 a frame here) and
the need to digitise your film to do anything with it at home etc etc etc
etc. Put your hand on your heart and declare if you develop and print
everything you shoot on film anyone?

Cheers
Geoff
