I agree with you.  If I get an exceptional print shooting with the Roundshot 220
VR, I can always have it scanned on a CD, and printed on the Lightjet 5000, on
Fuji Crystal Archival paper.  I can take it to a lab in downtown San Francisco
and have them scan and print, but I choose to have them reproduced in the
darkroom, printing from the neg., on the same paper.  Its much cheaper than
trying to keep up with the new programs, computers, and printers that I must
maintain.
