Hi

Well maybe it has in some respects. However, when I look at my own move from 35mm B/
W film to digital (1 Ds) I mainly see better pictures and better prints - and more of them. 

Of course the fact that I got new lenses to go with the new camera helped, I'm seeing quite 
a lot of the benefits from the new glass alone.

Having made the transition from film/darkroom to film/scanning to all digital I'd hate to 
go back to film - maybe I just never found the smell of chemicals as attractive as some :-)

bye for now

PS I've written up some of my thoughts on my own transition from B/W film to digital in 
some articles at: <http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/features.html>  If you've seen the 
site before, I've just finished re-writing it from scratch.
