I love it. But who would wait 2 minutes for it to develop and a
another couple of minutes to "fix" it before you could turn the
light back on?
Honestly, I think the biggest thing missing in the digital
darkroom is the dodging and burning methodology. The ability to
broadly apply D/B to an image is totally different in Photoshop.
Sure, the features are there, but the design intent is for much
smaller areas.
The picture-set I did yesterday was shot on T400CN. Remember my
rants about that garbage? Well, the sharpness and lack of grain
are impeccable--my 11x14s from 35mm have the same look/feel as
Tmax 100 in 645. (Ahem, technique helps). But if you look
carefully, you'll see that lack of tonal seperation in Zones
III-IV. I ended up doing a Split-Grade print. I'm thinking
about actually adding a third exposure using a Grade 3 to the
mix.
