below $1000 film vs digital

The fling-and-pray that is darkroom work does
not compare to the precision and variety of edits that can be made by
digital.


I bet to respectfully disagree.

If you want precision then film is the only way that's ***unadulterated*** by
processing software and human edits.

Have you seen how digital captures lights in mist?

Go to usefilm and find some examples, even from the fabled $**** digital
cameras.


There is no question that digital is the most direct path from what you saw
as you looked through the viewfinder to a finished print to hang on a wall.

Direct in terms of speed?

I guess your use of the word "precision" suggests otherwise. You have a lens
and photochemically reactive film, what's more *direct* than that?

I can only suspect you're not serious.
