Might as well go direct to digital then.

I don't know about digital. Depends on what he's doing . . . numbers of images at one time and print sizes. Digital isn't the answer for *everything* yet. I've crunched the numbers. Systems that seriously *equal* 35mm film capabilities require a horrendous amount of money. One can buy an entire medium format system: bodies, lenses, film backs, etc. for the same price.


And that's just the camera...you'll more than double that by the time you have a computer to fully support the system and a printer that is capable of making a decent quality print larger than a snapshot.
