Just out of curiosity, who amoung the group is archiving their digital
images back to film?

I've seen more interest in this here in Perth where the digital phenomenon
swept all but a few commercial photographers into the electronic media
almost as soon as digital cameras became available.  Recently though with
the fear of unreadable CD's, crashed drives or spending hours PSing images
only to have to attempt to mimic the output again from a retrieved original
file, film backups have become increasingly attractive to many.. and the
irony hasn't been lost on all of them either.

The convenience of starting with a digital file is still a major issue,
having an image ready to go the moment the shutter has fired still has great
appeal and many advantages for the working pro, but so does having the
double backup of both film and electronic images, and outputting back to
film is presently a costly excersize.  The question as whether to start
digital and have the resulting output laid on film, or start on film and
then scan has not become a debate many have faced yet, but I can see it on
the wind.
