I was ready for a screed but fortunately it wasn’t that. On the other hand it does gradually go off the rails in the usual way.

As an aside the condenser superiority thing was a bit strange. Not sure any of that holds water but anyway.

"...nothing compares to a condenser print...

Yes, they way they reproduce dust, scratches and other defects is incomparable. No wonder those Adams and Sexton prints are so bad. They used/use diffused light sources in their enlargers. :)

"...Perhaps the best reason to do analog photography is to differentiate yourself from the crowd..."

Yes, if one is trying to sell stuff, that old Sondheim lyric applies: "You Gotta Have a Gimmick." :D

[Oren Grad]

No, the condenser superiority thing doesn't hold water. And yes, this does go off the rails in the usual way.
