    I can make a precision adhesive filmholder out an an ordinary holder for about 50 cents and untie that hand behind the back. It's not a matter of who won - that's obvious - but in which round, and why.

    Film still does what I like and digital still does what I don't like to an image the closer you look.

    I just hope the remanants of the Ottoman Empire of Kodak survives the present financial upheaval. For me, it's film or nothing; and Kodak's selection would be hard to replace. But whatever happens, happens.

    Just think of the darkroom/finishing areas you could build.

    I agree with this sentiment, Until these new cameras with huge potential come down in price that comparable to a 4 x 5 equivalent or 8 x 10 equivalent film camera, I see absolutely no reason for the hobbyist or ameture like myself to buy one of these... But if I was
    working as a professional photographer today , I think these systems become critical and worthy of consideration as a business expense. I purchased a Lambda to stay in the printing game over 15 years ago, at the time it was imperative.

    Shameless plug here..

    5x7_13x18cm is often the ideal trade-off sheet film format. Too many only consider 4x5 or 8x10 for many Foto-mythical reasons.
    As for why 5x7_13x18cm, it's been discussed-posted many. many, many times on LFF and else where.

    I have a 5 x 7 Devere and an 11 x 14 Devere but still shoot 4 x 5 and 8 x 10 .. I like the slight advantage of coverage these two enlargers give me.

    Re: Another digital versus analog showdown

    Studio assembly-line product, catalog, or food photography almost mandates the switch. For someone like me, simply trying to bag a very limited number of shots truly worthy of printing, it's another story. If I were still dabbling in commercial architectural photography too, I dunno. Everything commercial now has a "want it yesterday" clientele. But with instant digital feedback, I've seen em constantly peering over the shoulders of the photographer like a vulture, micro-managing them. That would drive me crazy.
