Right...in many ways working with film is cheaper...a 4000dpi 35mm scanner
can be had for much less than $1000.  However, the real cost of film is in
how it slows down the workflow.  If that doesn't matter then I think film is
the superior way to go for working large...or working in situations where
you can't depend on being able to recharge your digital batteries or having
a laptop or digital wallet to download the files...that's where the Leica
comes in.
