quote:
Everybody is going digital. Glad there are some hanging on... but why? that is an interesting question... There is renewed interest in film and sales of film and chemicals are stable, if not growing. The pros I have met use digital for their business and film for their art. I do it mainly for the LOLs, but here are my arguments put to the Royal Photographic Society, a couple of whom are trying film again since I started the discussion with them. 1. I get a full-frame small 35mm camera with super glass for £30 - film SLRs have much bigger, brighter viewfinders than digital SLRs 2. I can now go buy that film Leica (M6, M5 or CL), rather than the digital M8 or new M9 (which I cannot afford anyway). 3. My medium formats give me 50MP of resolution and I definitely cannot afford a MF digital camera. 4. I prefer the look, latitude and dynamic range of film - especially for monochrome. 5. I find the whole process relaxing and more rewarding. 6. I am learning more about photography as there are less options between me and the image - working in full manual wherever possible. quote:
Luckily the colour negative film sales have been very stable over the past year. Black-and-white is also doing extremely well. It almost feels that there is a very real resurgence for film. A lot of people that were completely digital are now accepting film again for certain things – or they do like the workflow. And the most exciting thing is to see the younger people adopt film. It’s almost a generational thing. They have not shot film growing up, but once they do get a hold of film in a university, they just seem to fall in love with it. And that’s exciting. It just seems to have a lot of influence. - Scott DiSabato, US marketing manager at Kodak, Sept. 2010.
