| Always worth considering. The viewfinder real estate is not the least of it either. |

nice read and exactly my thoughts. i'm only 21 but i got to know the art of photography through the viewfinder of a 35+ year old pentacon 35mm slr camera that i had (permanently) "borrowed" from my grandpa, before i got myself my first digital camera in 2005. i think having gotten in touch with he all-manual film camera before going the digital route has taught me to appreciate the simplistic way of approaching a photographic subject, and the pleasant anticipation for getting back the rolls from the lab. ;)
so this winter i got myself a medium format slr and i don't wanna miss it, already shot two jobs with it and the results are well worth the "hassle" of having to change films after 14 frames and not immidiately seeing the results on a screen. yes, the workflow is slower, but i feel that i focus more on things like composition, dof, light and exposure than when i'm shooting with digital. |

One sentence got my attention when I read the first part of that blog entry:
"We̢۪ve lost our free time. We̢۪ve lost our ability to depend on highly qualified experts to take our work to its highest level."
Seems like a lot of analog photogs of days past placed their trust in the developers/processors. I know many did not, but...... are there businesses today that specialize in this portion of the business? There is no reason why digital photogs can't outsource the onerous post processing. Does anyone know of such companies and info about them? They're bound to exist... but I've never heard of one. |

| Wow. What a great article. I've come from the digital age (I'm only 21 yrs old). And have never used a film camera since I got serious about photography but I've been thinking about it for some time and I think this article has pushed me over the edge. |

Kodak Gallery's new "Pro" processing site (in Beta-testing) offers free, invividualized color-adjustment, though I haven't tried it yet. |

I started going through the visualsciencelab blog. Turns out the guy who writes this is a photographer I ran into in Austin. He was doing a corporate photo shoot for the company I was working for at the time. He also authored a book I bouth called "Minimalist Lighting", Kirk Tuck.
He has some additional interesting blogs on the business side of photography.
