"Film is dead"? Check the facts.
If we should compare photography with music then:
Digital = CD's and transistor amplifiers. Analog = LP's and tube amplifiers. What do you listen to? The ones with less noise and less distortion, of course! Btw, that is a very fitting analogy. People grew up listening to analog recordings with all their inherent distortions, and when you take those distortions away many people claim it no longer sounds "real." The reality is that it sounds more real, just different from what they're used to. Some people prefer the irregular frequency response ("warmth") of tube amps, but that doesn't make them more accurate. Similarly, some people still prefer the look of a grainy (noisy) film photograph. Not me, baby! I like em smooth. -Annika ---- Totally Digital !!! |

I **STILL** listen to my classical **LP's** on my **TUBE** amplifier and I'm sorry to say, but no transistor amp can match the quality of sound of this amp. I once had it checked out, and compared it to the other amplifier I have (a regular transistor amplifier) with professional testing equipment and the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) levels were way lower than my other amplifier. |

I have no tupe amplifier either but could be fun to have one. From time to time I also take pictures with some very old cameras......e.g. Voigtländer Rollfilm from 1925. Probably the same reason why some people like to drive an E-type Jaguar instead of a modern "Ford produced" Jaguar. Max |

When the tv would quit working you took all the tubes out, when to the local hardware store and used the tube tester to find out which was was bad, yup the good old days for sure. Scott |

Film is like Terri Schiavo ... it's dead but it doens't know it.
The Film Luddites remind me of Bill Frist, running around saying, "Film is fine .... it's still alive! It blinked!" Film will be "dead" when it ceases to be manufactured, that ain't gonna be in the next decade though. "Annika1980" wrote in message ups.com... I don't draw any conclusions, I simply present the facts. You interpet them as you see fit. It would be difficult to argue with your logic. My thoughts on film's demise are this: There are still people who use large format view cameras. In my town of about 250,000 I'm sure there are probably 5-10 people who own one. In 30 years, there will still be people using 35mm film cameras. The numbers will probably be similar. Film is like Terri Schiavo ... it's dead but it doens't know it.

But "modern" tube amplifiers today are for the high end market. So they are made quite well and are quite expensive. The simplest design (single ended triode tubes amps) which can deliver only 5-10 W are probably the most wanted. The original Western Electric 300B triodes are very expensive. Do you have some? Max |

A tube amplifier has mostly 2nd harmonic distortion which sounds good. A transistor amplifier has some of the other higher harmonic distortions......which should not sound very good if they are to high. |

Al, you are very intelligent - NOT!

Because it reacts to light, and too much will destroy it. And d'you know what else is the same way? *Vampires*, that's what! Well, a vampire's image can't be captured on film. But you know why? Cuz it's got silver in it! So snap away at the undead with your digital camera! Just don't use a flash, or you might do permanent damage. You're confusing vampires with werewolves. Oh, right! - Like there's a difference! - I never knew a werewolf yet that wasn't just like a vampire...... Come to think of it, I never knew a werewolf yet....... |
