Not for me (or, I imagine, a large number of digital users). I haven't ever done my own colour printing at home; one of the big advantages of digital cameras (and film scanners) was the ability to switch to the "digital darkroom". The *ist-D means I get my images in my hands a bit faster, but apart from that there's not all that much difference between what I do with those images and what I used to do with images from the MZ-S/PZ-1p; when I got the negatives or slides back I scanned them once, and that was it.
