I totaly agree, that's how I'm currently moving forward, to mix qualities of 
both old and new age photography (and having an excuse to keep that OM1 with 
me).

But, although I didn't tried it personnaly, I heard that to enhance longevity 
of conventional prints, a palladium toner would oulive the paper base (and we 
do have chinese paper older than a 1000 year). Maybe a bit fussy to do, but 
if the result is important...
