Tim,
You make a good point, though I wonder who cares anymore, esp with so much
pressure to produce and produce often. Working with film
can slow this process down.
I see the matter as a quality of work issue...
sadly, it's also a part of the economy (solid state building and
repair, machine shops,
not to mention processing and printing
labs) that is dying. The old models of work had us doing more with our
hands than typing.
