Best wishes for success in your exam, Chris.
There are several confusing aspects to this scenario.
The SUV referred to, being a rear-wheel drive Starlet, does not depreciate. In
fact this model appreciates in value here.
Next, I did not ascribe a value to my time spent getting prints. If I use the
car, the round trip takes about 60 - 80 minutes including time in the shop. If
I
use public transport, I'm looking at spending 3 - 4 hours for the job, and the
dollar cost is also slightly more. However, the public transport option ensures
I get exercise in all weathers with a descent and climb by foot of 600 ft from
the bus stop to my house.
Next - the relative cost of printing depends greatly on the in-house policies
of
the shop. At present they give very favourable rates per print if the prints
are
produced in their integrated Agfa D-Lab machine which also produces a
selectable wide range of print.sizes, formats and qualities.
Should they alter their pricing policy, the relativities of film and digital
recording media alter immediately.
Last question. *Of course* I will want to print all my digital shots!.
They will all be winners ;-) (Apart from the format which is, as I understand
it, 6x8 and not 6x9 ). 6x9 is another strong reason to continue to use film.
