I've always found processing and scanning to be tedious. I don't do a lot of work in Photoshop now that Lightroom is available. > I should note that my PS work with film is very minimal.

Sounds similar to my editing with digital capture although I never have to dust spot. And there's no grain to give me aliasing artifacts when scaled for printing. Adam, I like film too. But for me it's a tedious medium to handle and produce prints with. I can produce many times more work of equal quality in the same time with the K10D than I can with a medium format camera. Working in Lightroom and Photoshop is, to me, a joy: I can see what I'm doing, back up if I make a mistake, push a rendering in any direction I want, and manipulate light selectively to whatever level of granularity or global effect I want in a moment. But, in the end, what makes the best photographs and the least work is always the best capture. That does not change between film and digital, so I put my time in to make the best captures I can with either. That means a tripod for a lot of work.
