Or the other way around. I bring my stuff into a place called Photocraft here in Portland and get each shot on the whole roll scanned to produce a 300dpi 8x10 16mg file for 15 bucks with my professional discount. I think that's a 20mg tiff file. I think I save five bucks with the pro discount. As far as I'm concerned my Leica M's, Hasselblads and Rolleiflex 2.8 F all are digital cameras. As I'm doing digital photography with them. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
