Film scanners?

Not one person is arguing that film is not a legitimate pursuit. It's the claims of the superiority of film output that we are arguing about. Who made that claim? I've followed this thread, and nospam has denied that claim, but he's denying something that hasn't been claimed. it was claimed. This is what nospam does to a thread to create an argument where there should not be an argument. The thread started on the subject of scanners. Then, Russell D. posted: "Exactly what I was thinking when I bought my CoolScan. Then I got bored with digital and started shooting film again. Glad I didn't sell it." No claim that film is superior. No claim that he can do something with film that can't be done with digital. Just a simple statement that he started shooting film again. in another post, he claimed film can do things digital cannot. that is a completely bogus claim. once again, you are twisting things. Liar. Talk abut twisting things, you were saying that claims were made about film being superior long before Russell made any comment about film vs digital in this thread. What Russell posted late in the thread was: "Bill, I can take shoot a roll of TriX and develop it in D-76 1:1 and get one look and then stand develop another roll in 1:100 Rodinal for an hour and get another look and then develop another roll in coffee (Caffenol) for yet another look. It's fun. You cannot duplicate the experience or the look with digital. Film has a unique look. It is not better or worse than digital. It is just different." he is wrong. it *can* be duplicated. OK, show me digitally duplicated TriX semi-stand developed in 1:100 Rodinal. I have yet to even see a digital "Kodachrome" photo that looked like Kodachrome. |
