Sorry Treaclechops, as I mentioned above, I wasn't referring to you, just replying to the Hob's comment on 'art'.
I can't compare film and digital, but as far as I know I can get closer to my own true vision at present with digital, and the quality is controlled by myself all the way. With digital it takes ridiculous amounts of time to translate the zone system into post exposure editing and printing, not to mention the pitfalls of colour space and cross-platform colour management, but saying that, I do have 'nth' amount of control over tints and the printing process, whether duotone, quadtone or whatever.
I can never see the issue over 'this vs that', when surely it's the things we make from 'this' and 'that' which ultimately count? I agree that there is a 'sacred space' and smelly things in a darkroom, which adds to the magic of production process.
Keep on keeping on!
