Geoff eloquently makes a case for film as opposed to digital image acquisition and processing. And while I agree with many of his points, I also have a slightly different point of view on several aspects.

Let's start with the darkroom. While Geoff is correct in saying that many institutions already have a darkroom or have access to one at no cost, this only tends to hide the cost. Somebody has to build the darkroom and somebody has to pay for building maintainingand equipping the darkroom. If this is paid out of some overhead and not paid for directly, then the cost is hidden in that overhead, which would be less without the darkroom.
