Re: really no purpose anymore for traditional films (negative or diapositve) (by 2006) ?

Not true. I shoot all formats up to 8x10 which we process, print and drum 
scan in house, and I also shoot digital using a large format high end 
scanning back. At its best, digital is equal or better to the best 
reproduction possible from large format film when it's at its best. These 
days, I select which avenue to take based on whether one technology is 
better than the other given the shooting conditions. It's no longer safe
to 
say that one is simply better.
