Digital shooting is a whole different ballgame. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not the same. The whole point with actual color film for me is that I can print it in my own darkroom facility to a very high degree of quality, and avoid all the secondary jumping through hoops. Even if masks are in place, they're there to modify the actual original exposure itself, integrally and directly. Nothing is lost, just subtly emphasized or de-emphasized. And I like the more subtle tonal and hue control possible, versus being stuck on the inkjet path if a digital camera were used (though there are other options, just not as conveniently). Don't try to re-train a trumpet player to play a fiddle instead. Different tones.
