nospam will respond and trash the piece, of course. That's what he
does.


i trash stuff when it deserves to be trashed. the above article is pure
trash.

I do wonder if he thinks that he has informed, educated, or convinced
anyone with his continued rants. Basically, he's preaching to the
choir. I don't think anyone here thinks that film is inherently
superior to digital,


you think wrong. several people have stated exactly that and you even
quoted one of them.

but there might be some who think that their
results using film are superior to what *they* can do with digital.


if so, that would be *their* limitation, not that of digital.

what's worse is they refuse to learn how.

That's a subjective opinion and a perfectly valid self-assessment.


it's not subjective in the least.

anything that can be done with film can be done with digital, a
provable fact.

I don't expect there will be a stampede of people abandoning film
cameras


have you been living in a cave for the last two decades?? there already
has been such a stampede.

film sales are a tiny fraction of what they once were. kodak went
bankrupt and rochester, new york is hurting because of it. polaroid no
longer exists other than a name to be licensed, mostly for crappy
electronics. camera stores are mostly gone and with rare exception,
film cameras aren't being made anymore.

because the little tinpot wannabe dictator nospam has told


insults are all you know.

them they can only expect mediocre results.


and that's exactly why there was a stampede.

people quickly realized that digital produces better results with less
fuss, particularly pros where maximum quality is very important.

like any change, there are always a few stubborn holdouts who refuse to
accept reality, some of whom have a vested interest in keeping the
status quo, making their claims rather biased.
