The best photographs I've seen came out of venerable film cameras. You have to respect that.

I, for my part, never got along with film - too messy, to cumbersome, too complicated and, finally, too expensive. I'm relieved that the era of film is over. It almost feels as if the terrain has been democratized, so everyone who has an eye and half a heart for it can go nuts and take pictures.

Working on it. Had to resize and place some watermarks. And, I just signed up.

*edit*

I can't upload a portfolio without paying...so, we'll all have to wait until I have time to participate in one of the challenges.

I like digital for it's ease of post-editing and speed of review.
But I wouldn't say bad things about film because I believe film has its own strengths too (as compared to digital).

most bashings are usually due to people's unability to see from a different perspective; or sometimes, ignorance.

You people are missing my point.

I'm not specifically talking about my own photography, but photography in general.

You're placing too much concern on the means and not the end result. Why does anyone feel the need to champion one tool over the other?

Quit being jackasses.

You mention the medium format camera. But in the 35mm format, I think we're already there. I much prefer what I get straight out of my 5D than what I used to get out of 35mm film.


I agree, but as soon as you go really pro, the 35mm looks like a hobby camera, I don't knoww any pro photographer that uses the 35mm in studio, they all use medium format hasselblad.


What do you mean by "really go pro"?

Most of the pros I know have dropped their MF film in favor of an MF back or have switched completely to the 1Ds mkII.

The large format guys like the fact that they can mount MF digital back onto their existing view cameras and still get enough resolution to make their clients happy.

Most clients prefer digital as well, since, if they are on location or in the studio, the preview is immediate and the files can be sent to their within hours as opposed to days with film. Odds are that the client will either want the film scanned or scan it themselves, both of which add time and cost to the project.

I'm sure there are holdouts who will try to sell the film "process" as having advantages, but at the end of the day, clients want their work done well and above all, quickly.

Not all good photographers have accounts on DPC.

Why don't you take a look at his website? There's some really good work on it.
