David, to compare custom lab negative with a digital negative in which you
do the scanning, tweaking, adjusting and outputting to disk yourself, is
what they taught us in grammar school to call a *false analogy.*
Note also that when I have the range of a negative I make a couple in
other densities for other processes or other approaches to gum, which
costs another 15 minutes and the price of the film... Not another $30.

And if I had a destroyer I could capture Kuwait!!
