Jackie, I hear those old chemical photo systems, specifically those things colloquially called "chromes", actually had more detailed information in them than digital captures. And the "R" prints are supposed to be spectacular. In addition, images aren't lost in HD crashes.
Digital may match the color of portra/velvia/e100sw, but not the tonality or detail. :) -- -- Collin Brendemuehl KC8TKA "The problems are so over-rated." -- Petula Clark --
