I think you hit the nail on the head here,Bill(ohhh poor nail<g>)
So far my 2.74meg D1 is producing nice,saleable prints and my clients are very happyy
to
have same
hour service. Hopefully the D2H will live up to its claims if i can get one next year.
I
too am sticking with
B&W film as i am not happy with my digital makeovers.
I am able to develop and print my own negs,thanks to a great night school teacher,and
enjoy it.It only
takes a few min of my time to develop and hang a roll to dry.I'm fine with contact
sheets
too.
If push comes to shove,i'll stock up on essentials,freeze a bag of film and carry
on,the
dinasour i am.
Availability is not an issue here in Ontario,yet.Several bigger stores and "pro" labs
stock slide and B&W
and IR.
Keeping my fingers crossed it does not happen over night<g>
