Alfred Molon: My kids don't even know what film is. They have never seen a film camera. And as time passes, it becomes less likely that they will ever see such a camera, at least not in use. In a museum, perhaps. The juvenile quibbling in this thread is stunning. What amuses me is people who cannot do creative thinking, but take everything literally. If one says "It's raining cats and dogs!" they will likely say "You're wrong, as usual, idiot! Those are aggregated water molecules with traces of various particulates, acids, dissolved gases, and other compounds. Have you even sent them to be analyzed? I thought not." The fact is, the film era is over in the same way the horse-and-buggy era is over. You can still buy a horse and they still make buggies, but the horse-and-buggy era is over. If any of the plethora of idiots in this thread reads this, it will set off a new round of quibbling. Fortunately, the majority of them are in my kill-file so I am unlikely to see much of it. I was shooting film until the end of 2006. I had a Nikon 90s and a Hasselblad 500CM, and a 4x5 Linhof color 45. I still have the 'blad, Linhof and JOBO stuff. Still miss my darkroom. But Photoshop has added another dimension to digital in post editing. Film was an era for me. There's nothing like working with a 4x5 or even a 6x6 to make you slow down and think. |

Son of a gun, so it can... Meanwhile, I just spent a couple of hundred bucks to have my Nikon F100 body tuned up. you're the lone exception. Another airline survey? city bus. i have posted an image of a professional NY photographer, who still uses film. that makes two. meanwhile, billions of digital photos are taken every day and uploaded to various online services, nearly all of which with smartphones. more than one *trillion* photos were taken in 2017. B&H Adorama Both of the above sell a lot of film cameras. nowhere near as many as they used to. go ask them how their film sales have dramatically dropped off in recent years. I wonder why a lot of professional photographers don't listen to you. they don't need to. they already are on the digital bandwagon. very, very few photographers are still shooting film and that number is shrinking rapidly. https://petapixel.com/2015/04/24/12-...-choose-to-sho ot-film-over-digital/ what a joke. that is a completely bogus article. every single point is *wrong*. Snip good points well made Film might have perceived advantages, even if they're difficult to express: * More care/time/thought might be taken over taking a shot because of the cost/time consequences (developing, loading etc) and limitations (fixed ISO, burst facilities etc); * Much as the analogue/digital discussions in audio, the quality is in the eye of the beholder - film is 'felt' to be better than digital. Ironically, this is often to do with limitations of the medium. And no amount of measurement or argument is going to shift that perception. And nobody has mentioned - it's fun! Yep! Forgot that. But one person's fun is another's something less than fun I suppose. Yep! I have a photo project going called "Derrieres" I am certain that when I finish it, there will be those who will not think it's funny. Bummer, eh? -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

So it has nothing to do with being behind the times, and if you hadn’t visited a NYC soda fountain it is unlikely that you would have tasted one. An egg cream is very much a New York City soda fountain creation of the 1880’s, and is rare these days. It is a beverage blend of milk, chocolate syrup, and seltzer, or soda water. No eggs, no cream. As I said few folks unfamiliar with the Five Boroughs of NYC, regardless of age would know what an egg cream was. -- Regards, Savageduck |
