i started to use MF just a couple of months, and was thinking about digital, if and only if the film is stop production, i think the digital back for MF will be affortable for amature while. just keep going, film is more concert indeed. Will be affordable..? Maybe.., but will still look digital. The problem for me is that digital always looks digital, even digital backs they look very digital. I don't like the look (tonality), so I'll keep shooting film along side with digital. J. |

om... [.. snip the life-story...] The stories I heard were all the same. Digital is in and film is out. You know it's not true. If you want instant gratification, go Digital, otherwise follow your own information and go MF. Here's a little math - If I were to sell all my Hasselblad gear I could just afford a top-of-the-line full-frame "35mm" digital camera which is less reliable (more susceptible to moisture problems, failure due to rough handling, and just plain bugs) than MF. That excludes a very good PC, Photoshop, printer, disc farm, all that. Then I'd be in the pits in just a few years. If that's the decision one wants to make, then go there and be happy - or not. |

The amazing bit is that it ("digital is in and film is out") still is true. Very much so. There may be very sound, rational grounds why it shouldn't be, but where is it written that we are rational beings? So digital is in, film is out. |

Hey John whats interesting is.
Just had a "new" real estate agent- client tell me they don't want digital capture for their head shots and promo materials because it won't give them the quality they want,... sounds like someone screwed them over on it all ready.
