I prefer analog prints when they're possible. Each one is somewhat unique, they're as hand made as photographs get...excluding the even more hand made alternative processes. You can throw a bunch of tech jargon at me all you want, an RA4 print enlarged in the darkroom has a certain quality to it, just like Cibachrome did. They're beautiful. The image sort of floats under the surface, and the tonal changes are very smooth.
Don't get me wrong, pigment prints are also beautiful and the paper choices are far superior. When I can I make an analog print, up to about 16x20. After that you really can't argue that the Epson is the better choice. It's just SO much easier and more consistent. However, and 8x10 negative enlarged to 16x20 in an enlarger is a beautiful thing.
Plus, scarcity creates value. I still think people pay more for artist made darkroom prints. So it's a way to make something slightly more unique than pigment prints. I sort of like small editions of compact prints. With pigment prints the idea of making an edition is kind of pointless.
I'm a little crazy though, and I love 8x10 instant film because you're really making a true original piece, like a painting. You can reproduce it, but it's not the original thing.
These are just my opinions and I understand they're not shared by many people, totally cool with me!
