Film, no post process. Digital hours of PP!

Thank you all for your input. I am learning now that after some exposure testing, the LCD screens are very bright.
So like in film. I will still need to use my light meter and manual controls. Of course you have the standard f16-125 exposure rule for sunlight and go from there. And will need to adjust the LCD monitor brightness to match exposures, etc. to be more reliable to see my exposures.
So, it'll be fun to recalibrate my cameras. These manuals and e-manuals hav v v ve many pages. No wonder everyone uses Auto in their P&S's.

OK, I have many practice shots to take.

I wouldn't recommend using the LCD beyond judging cropping and seeing if your exposure is in the ballpark. Do a search for "Exposure to the right" or "ETTR" to read about one way to use the histogram to help you with exposure as well (don't use this one myself but some follow it religiously).

I know I've spent more than an hour or so (easily) working with printing ONE 4x5 color negative. And that's in addition to the time I needed to develop the film, of course. There's plenty of work in printing film, but as mentioned above, you didn't have to do it; the lab did the work.

I definitely would spend a lot more time printing a negative than post processing a digital file. I can't stand it when people complaining about the fact that they have to post process digital images. If back in the old days, they were not happy with the results from the labs then they have the chance to do it themselves now. If they were happy with the results from the labs then their creation were partly done by the lab, not by themselves.
How about I offer the service to do the digital post processing just like old days when the lab offered the services to process the film.

The best aspect of digital vs film is that digital allows average Joe to control the process from beginning to end. Few people are capable of doing the entire photographic process with film.
