Being from Boston, I immediately and only think of Cape Cod when "the Cape" is mentioned. But I must admit that there are other 'Capes', both along ocean coastlines and inland. From where are these images?

Correct, but the view is digital, not optical.


The sensor is also 'digital', so the EVF is a representation of what the sensor 'sees' in a digital camera. In fact, in most cases, it is what the sensor 'sees'.

I think "reflex" refers to the prism in the camera which allowed the viewer to look directly through the lens.
Sony made that type at one time. Today Sony has EVF's which do not use a direct lens view.


Well, does not the EVF present the view through the camera lens? The view that the sensor (formerly the film) actually 'sees', unlike the SLR which uses a mirror and pentaprism to process and present an image.

That's not true; there are artifacts from the digitizing process which, if not removed (or analog filtered) before digitizing cannot be removed. It has to do with the mathematics of the process. It is called aliasing. I can't explain it well in less that a couple of pages and arm-waving; I' sure Wiki has an good exposition if you're interested.

Good grief! The real question is not why someone likes film, the real question is why that bothers someone else.

The question is what advantages 'film' has over 'digital' photography. The statement has been made, refuted by me, that film has no significant advantages and many disadvantages. So, educate me, put out some facts which support the advocacy of film. This is supposed to be a forum for a spread of reliable information. Let the information flow. Not unsupported statements. Ad hominem attacks are useless.

Clearly a statement from a guy that has no clue about shooting film!


Clearly someone who can't or won't articulate the statements he makes about his fondness for film!

FYI - I started out with film in the 1950's. Digital is superior in every way. Please explain a significant advantage of film.
BTW - I have a line of more than 20 (mostly SLR) film cameras for which I will sell for little money. Interested?

[quote] Advantage over what?

It's just film.[unquote]

Yeah, what's the advantage of film over a digital camera for which you'll never have to buy another senor (or developer)? In a digital camera you won't be fumbling with another cassette to load while your "filming" opportunity is lost. And all those programs for post-processing.

I guess I haven't been keeping up, but in this digital age why is is a new (or dusted off) film type of significant interest? What advantages does it offer, especially in B&W?

It is an oxymoron to call something "unauthorized" and "Top Secret" and " . . . developed in Washington" and then say it was implemented worldwide with other nations (U.K., Russia, French) doing the same. Of course we wanted to get as much of the information the Germans and other Axis power had knowledge of. To not implement such programs and policies would have been dereliction of duty to our Country, especially after a long war in which we paid such a high price, in people's lives, material, and money.

Similarly, my son bought a used car specifically with a manual transmission, which he calls an anti-theft device; none of the kids in the neighborhood (nor his sister) know how to drive a car so equipped.

As my former boss used to tell me when something was on display in the store without a price attached, "So, it must be free".

Look carefully at the ends of the few ROUND supports and you will see curves.


Looked carefully (again) and failed to see any curves (again). NB there is a difference between rounds and curves.
