"Invariably, they drone on about the uncompromising standards of the optics,

*So* true - I call it "Instagramification". No one is immune.
BTW, I don't think it's purely a "digital" thing; if we had film that captured
grainless,
well-exposed images with the simple touch of a button, we'd still want a filter
to make
it look like the images we sentimentally recall. My belief is that this is
generational;
the characteristics of film evoke sentimental responses in us, but less so in
our children.
In 20 or 30 years, this will fade, and our 1970s Kodacolor prints will be
regarded like
1850s Daguerreotypes :-)
