  you are right. i'd be outputing to an epson printer with mis inks
  as well as sending off digital files to labs for bigger prints (up
  to 24x30. being as i am talking about landscape work, and currently
  work in medium format, i demand more out of the image than just a
  good 35mm version. However, i'm not made of money and as it will be
  a back up to my medium format, it dosen't necessarily have to
  outperform it.
