All I shoot are slides, and I convert the ones to digital that I want to transmit. It freaked me out when Kodak stopped making my film, but Fuji Velvia is okay. I think slides are beautiful, and they're tangible. I don't see myself ever going digital, unless film goes away.
I also do not see film ever going away totally. Good luck i look forward to seeing some of your pictures.

Film will eventually go away because of the basic Economic Law of "Supply and Demand." Demand for film is waning. Therefore the cost to manufacture film will unfortunately increase and become even scarcer. Meanwhile I am looking for a medium format film camera to enjoy film for as long as I can. :roll: :lol: :-D

Enjoy the world of Digital pix. I myself prefer the 35mm style when a person has to know what they're doing, but I hope this venture works out for you. Good Luck!! 8-)

The whole point is to know what you're doing! And this venture has been going on for 15 years...with my good camera, that is.

I wasn't trying to start anything! Just goes to show you how passionate people can be about photography...

Sharon...If a person takes pix and LOVES the endeavor, isn't that passion? You were right, and once in awhile some folks here are wrong. This is a fun site, and I hope you come back and enjoy. 8-)

Glad to see another diehard! I just bought a 4X5 that I am looking forward to using, I have a Mamiya RB67 I use most of the time and a Minolta SRT101 is now being used for infrared that I wanted to try this summer and the Minolta is 36 frames so I could bracket and get a better idea of what I am doing in one roll rather than say 4 with the Mamiya.When I am comfortable with how the 35mm infrared is coming out, I will start using it in the Mamiya. If 4X5 wasn't so expensive, I would use it for everything!
I wish I found this site a long time ago, I was starting to feel there were only a few of us on the planet that wanted to shoot the breeze and especially share their vast knowledge!
Kodak stopped making film because in 2000 they were selling 60 million rolls a year, digital which Kodak had a big hand in the creation of, drove film sales down to 2 million rolls a year.Illford was more or less taken over by it's employees that wanted to keep their jobs, an idea that some of the Kodak people should have considered.

Un fortunately corperations do not understand the feeling of the past. They might perhaps be smarter to enjoy the whole nostalgia of earlier times. I would guess they will not. I actually love, and miss the days when a person had to know how to capture an image, before apps/editing came about. We were purists then. Now, there are Posers.
