With correct exposure, you can apply curves to the scanned film that will
give you the same results.

Yes, but digital image capture has other costs.  At this point in time, the
initial investment is very high, and unless you shoot a REAL lot, there is
simply no cost savings.  Also, digital cameras have virtually no resale
value, film cameras retain their resale value much better.

Er, this begs the question, why are you in a "FILMSCANNER" mailing list if
you don't use any film?
