I'm not saying digital is crap, I'm saying it's a fad for the general
public and it requires a lot more effort from the photographer in terms
of post-production. All the labs I have ever used do the leeving of negs
and slides for me at no extra charge. I simply label them and store them
in the box.

What could be easier than handing in a roll of film, getting back a set
of prints, putting the negs in a box and the prints in an album?

Indeed.
