Actually, I spend most of my time with film: I love developing it. These days I don't do wet prints any more, but scan the negs and then play with them in Photoshop and print via inkjet. There are even a few wierdos who chase their own tails by printing onto transparency sheets, and then making contact prints onto photographic paper. That boggles my mind!

Ed,
I have several scanners for that job, ranging from an old Epson 4870, through a Pacific Image 35mm film scanner and a Konica Minolta 5400 Elite, to the big cahuna, the Nikon Coolscan 9000ED. If you simply want to digitise some old 35mm negs or slides, and you don't mind poorer quality, then a flatbed like a recent Epson will do the deed. You'll get better results with a dedicated film scanner though, and need not be expensive (Pacific Image, or Plustek). If you have any medium format to scan, this can be done with a flatbed, or you have to bite the big bullet and look for a Coolscan 9000. Rumours have been flying for a year as to whether they are discontinued, or whether production is intermittent. They are selling at about twice the list price at the moment. Imacon/Hasselblad are still in the market with the Flextight drum scanners, but I assume you are still sane and don't wish to sell your children to buy a scanner!
The turntable is not ultra high-end, being the lowliest SME, but it suits me. With Quad tubes and electrostatic speakers (occasionally sullied by an Ayre C5xe for CD/SACD/DVD-A as well) it's as close to the real thing as I can get.

Chris, I like-a your Leica. And your taste in stereo equipment is excellent.* I had no idea we shared that passion.

It's now Sunday afternoon, so here's the son reading up for one of his courses:
Voigtlander Bessa III, TMax 100 @ ISO200, Diafine developer, scanned on Nikon 9000ED.
Too much meta-ethics is rather hard on the head, though, and he shortly after ended up like this:
Same photo details. Yes, I know I should have been more careful about dust on the neg!
