The author's maths is a little wobbly. Since when do "busy pro photographers" pay their film and processing costs out of their _own_ pocket? It is always billed to the client with a mark-up thankyou :?) Okay, the counter argument runs: "What's the problem? You can now bill them for your 'digital processing costs'." Unfortunately this is mostly not the case. Check out the Editorial Photographers mailing list and note the number of photog's complaining about being squeezed on digital fees (when formerly clients had no problems paying premium $s for film + processing). There are lots of good reasons for working pros to adopt digital, but pocketing savings on film development ain't one of them :?) Regds, Andrew Nemeth <http://nemeng.com/leica/> [ Leica FAQ ]
