I shoot both digital and film, and will for as long as it is possible to do so. To me, each medium has unique qualities that expand the range of expression available to my image capture and presentation. To eliminate one makes about as much sense to me as a painter who after decades of oil painting decides to use only water colors; they just don't look the same and their options become greatly restricted.

Yikes, but what a bunch of nongs!... shut down to flm users with no notice in spring so i had to give up all my work for the summer... bummer! Haven't had that happen to me yet, but one never knows. Touch wood. Switch to B&W and do your own? biz.....so to all you i ask ...how many are still film users and will stay with film? No biz here, so completely different motivation. But I'm sticking with film, even in 35mm. Velvia, Astia and E100Vs give me all I need for colour. With the rb67, there is no way it'd be cost-effective to go digital. Maybe with 35mm it might, but I still doubt it. I'm starting to look at B&W again as well: can't get the effect I like with digital. A new Zeiss rf will join the stable soon, hopefully with some Leica glass. Starting to look at an upgrade of the 4990 for scanning 35mm. it's fine with 6x7, but a bit too fuzzy on 35mm for my taste: wasting too much time at the sharpening stage... For colour printing, I've given up on darkrooms. too messy, too many variables that can go wrong. Everything gets scanned and then printed on a hp8750. But might change my mind for b&w: again, too much fiddling with inkjet specialist inks to get the right B&W results. I'm told this will change soon, I hope so. Otherwise, there are some good deals going on epay for darkroom equipment... of course, usual disclaimers: ymmv, imho, ime, etcetc. |

Yeah for film, I just bought 200.00 worth of color film. 120,4x5 and 8x10. Two years ago I bought 600 worth of B&W so that will hold me a while -- Reality-Is finding that perfect picture and never looking back. www.gregblankphoto.com |

One thing is, I take much better care of exposure and composition with film shots, since I only get 15 per roll AND it's got to be good enough to be worth the wait. If only I could have a serious discussion with my brain. -Mark

Every camera I have is unique is some way that makes using digital difficult. Large format has tilts and swings, medium format has better resolution (6x7) currently. My swinglens panorama uses a cylindrical image plane. Even my 35mm is mostly used with the ultra-wide angle 12mm to give a unique view and stitched 360's. Even my 35mm street pix use a very unobtrusive rangefinder which is less noticed that a SLR of either type. All post processing is digital, however. -- Robert D Feinman Landscapes, Cityscapes and Panoramic Photographs http://robertdfeinman.com mail: |
