Same here. Film is definitely still king in my world. Especially for
B&W, but even my color work starts out as slides and transparencies.
Then I get a hi-res scan and go digital from there. B&W is all done in
a real darkroom, and that's what I've been spending more and more of my
time on. I'll be sticking with my OM's fo a long, long time. And my MF
stuff and 4x5, of course.
