Without even looking I can imagine Shel's response to this (grin). Most folks who still do serious B&W would respond similarly. If you shoot nothing but lab processed 35mm color negative, then yes get a DSLR, you will never pick up a film camera again.

Me, I can not see a digital camera replacing my Speed Graphic. I mean if I already choose to use it over that LP35CN where I have to load individual films, scrounge no longer made flashbulbs, setup the 4x5 enlarger & darkroom in the bathroom and tear it down again a couple of hours later. Convenience is obviously not the most important factor to me. It seems to be for most of the DSLR users. Of course I do not shoot 1000's of photos a year anymore either and it would take a long time at current usage to justify paying a $1000 for a new camera.

Don't you do mail order in the US? I get a 36exp-colour film
processed, printed twice at 6x4 and a CD for 9.75 (around 18-20
dollars, I would say), incl. stamps and what have you. I have done
cheaper (but not as good) in the past.
