Hey, I've been using my Leica almost exclusively since the beginning of this year, printing all in the wet darkroom, and it has been amazingly liberating.
It's nice to change it up now and then...keeps the juices fresh!

I used an lf for most jobs exchanging a rfh for sheets when I needed to make up for my dearth of lenses, but my clients always wanted files. I recently did a job that required a quantity of shots with a turnaround that just couldn't be done with film so I bought a d300. It paid for its self immediately and as soon as I can I'll dump it for the d700. For what I do I can't see the need or the business case for the D3 -- I'd buy a used imacon or drum scanner first. For my own work I shoot only film and mostly MF RF. Having finally made the switch I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. The business of photography is after all about producing product and a DSLR is all about production. The art of photography (for me) requires a different tool.
