Digital BW, The Print

Tyler,

I forgot to include the cost of the trips to the lab 14 miles away. At 20mpg 
and $3/Gallon that's an additional $4.20 per trip. About 10 sheets per trip. 
So I figure the payback is more like 4753 images.

So after approximately 5000 images, you will have paid for your
hassy/p45 setup, with image quality kinda sorta approaching your 4x5
film maybe.
Outstanding deal!!!
