Ansel would by now have a deal with one of the medium format digital
back manufacturers who would be producing an Ansel Adams Signature
Model...And it would go on the Hasselblad with the zone system metering
he is supposed to have designed.

The one thing I would be willing to be money on, were there any way to
settle the bet, is that Ansel would  long ago have begun scanning, doing
all his pre-developing tray work in Photoshop, and then would probably
have had the final prints produced with something like a Fuji Lightjet -
although he might well have gotten involved in quadtone inkjet printing.
But either way, I can't imagine that someone who so relied on darkroom
manipulation for his final results would not have become as much a
master of Photoshop has he was of darkroom work.
