Hi, Phil

I hate this type of discussion wherever digital vs. film comes up. We know
some people are rather vocal in "digital being vastly superior and film
users are so quaint," but in this case, I do believe that the IQ80 digital
back and the like is equal to, if not better, than Astia...

I'm not even sure why people have to slight one medium over the others. Let
people shoot what they want. If someone wants to pour Collodian or do
tintypes, then more power to them. It's not like film users are beating up
kids or kicking dogs....
