Paul S., I can understand what you are saying very well about your work and the clients' expectations. You put it all rather well I think. I have nothing to add since I completely agree. (I can't speak about the sensor size since that isn't my forte!) I also, like you, scan to size. I don't know how else one would do it? My standard rule when I send out for a drum scan: 300 dpi minimum, at physical size, or slightly larger in case of a change of plan.
Marc - yes I believe we will never see eye to eye. That is the beauty of a free world - we don't have to see eye to eye. As for the quality of the images I was receiving, I didn't mean to imply that I was the one always producing the images in question. Hardly. I generally receive most of my clients images from full time professional commercial photographers. I do occassionally find my own shots in my clients work, however, and I did fill in for some time to replace the resident photographer when he'd be out of town on other shoots. That is where I was using the Sinar. However, I certainly have had images provided via other digital methods. This is just for clarification - in case I was not clear.
Howard - Well I guess this is a debate that is close to my interests. It is hard to tell with text typed in an email, but I think you may have been making the point about the Governor tongue-in-cheek meaning since we felt we had all the answers, what should we do about the Calif Governor. I do apologize if I seem like I was trying to monopolize the viewpoint. I do not, nor do I ever, mean to force my views on others.
Again, just to clarify. I do like the concept of digital shooting. I look forward to the day when it does everything I want it to do. It will come someday - I wish it was here already.
