I like the idea of having great glass capture the best images I possible
can.  What the digital realm can do is add instant gratification, feedback,
and possibly expediency, whatever you mean by that.  If I was a high volume
photographer, i.e., hundreds/thousands of rolls a year, I would add cost
reduction to that also.

That's true.  But in the world of digital photography, who cares about great
glass anyway?  Expediency and instant gratification are what matter!  :-?
