there any realistic
benefits to film these days considering the expense? Personally the best
film camera Ive ever used was a Polaroid.
A digital camera is better suited for YOU.
When I run out of 55P/N, it may be a while before I use my Linhof again.
I haven't been using much film lately.
But, 5MP, 10MP, 15MP is NOT as much image entropy as even 35mm.
I can't afford a 4X5 or 8X10 digital back.
When I can find a TINY 12MP digital camera cheap, then I'll find new homes
for my Tessina, Minox, Minolta 16.
Price (not necessarily "value") is growing so fast that they might be
worth keeping as "investment", along with my Leicas, Nikonos, etc.
I might just only use digital , and change from being a film camera USER
to a film camera COLLECTOR. Maybe I already have.
Micro 4/3s, Sony Nex (APS-c) already let me use my film camera lenses,
bellows, etc. on small digitals.
