Charles,

I have to agree with your summary. While I am not trying to turn this thread into a film vs. digital debate, the S2 has made me seriously reconsider migrating to digital. So all aspects of the transition have to be carefully considered.

There are so many variables that each photographer has to consider that are unique for each of us. In my case, the investment in a S2 system is for more a want than need. But an aquaintance of mine would be able to pay for an S2 system in a few days, since it is not uncommon for him to shoot 200 plus rolls of 120 Ektachrome in a single days shoot. Well, he used to, till he bought a MF digital back.

So while I am quite sure that the S2 will be a success, I can hardly justify the investment at this point and time with current projects I have on the books for the next 12 to 18 months.

So for now the Norita 66 system will be my pseudo S2...
