  • I think everyone here gets the point: film is simply not a viable option in the marketplace except for a very tiny handful of photographers.  The numbers don't lie.  The statistics don't lie.  How...
  • You seem to forget that many of us spent many years shooting film, and so we are well aware of all the waste materials that come out of shooting each roll of film.  Inside each box of film sits a...
  • But film usage is a very small niche, a tiny minority of the market.  If someone put together a pie graph of how many professional photographers are shooting film, versus how many professional...
  • LOL. You are completely delusional. The very essence of "throw away" is shooting film, where every roll of film comes in a cardboard box, inside of which is a plastic container, inside of which is...
  • You apparently live in a fantasy world of your own, because you ignore the reality that for every one photographer who has stuck with film, there are thousands of photographers who have switched...
  • "pay for it" = film tax I know people who want a "retro" look to their images, but it certainly doesn't mean they want to achieve it by actually using film.  Digital images can look any way you...
  • LOL. There's nothing green about shooting film. Every roll of film you use has a lot of consumables associated with it. And that's even before you process it! The amount of consumables needed just...
  • I don't think that's necessarily true.  Negative film has tremendous exposure latitude, so you could be way off on exposure and still get a good print.  Keep in mind that negative film was so...
  • The reality is that clients don't even remembers what "true" film emulsions look like.  Clients today simply have a very generalized idea of what film looks like, and this general look is so easy...
  • Well said.  I really can't see film as being a viable selling point because clients simply don't care.  No photographer says, "And here's an image I shot on Fuji XYX film" and the clients says,...
  • Sure, give me a practically unlimited shooting budget, and a huge crew to handle all the back-end work, as well as film loading, processing, lighting, and I might shoot film again!  Yeah, JJ Abrams...
  • That "some" is an extremely tiny number of photographers. And it's a tiny number because it's simply not a viable option for most photographers. So in reality, it's your reasoning that is flawed....
  • Sure a pro can go back to shooting film.  But the question is whether you can actually make a living doing it.  First of all, I'm not sure 35mm film is going to cut it these days.  There are still...
  • @HowaboutRAW - it's not a problem just looking through them on a computer, then dumping the non-keepers, before uploading the rest of them up to the cloud.

    Every new, transitional, or...

  • Inane and childish hair-splitting aside ("it's a rule, not a rule?" Seriously? Really? Are you going for the Bozo of the Year Award?), yes, the general consensus, practice, and rule is that...
  • According to the rather detailed answer :  "...a marriage between two Catholics, or between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic, is to be celebrated in the parish church, although permission can...
  • Actually, Nikonos cameras were originally not SLRs. The first Nikonos "beginning for Commandant Cousteau" in 1963 was not an SLR and all the subsequent Nikonos models for the next 30 years weren't...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X-M1 Review preview

    @ thx1138 - "There is no need for both A1 and M1 and frankly based on pricing you'd have to be crazy to buy the M1."

    How about just offering the various models, and letting the consumer decide? ...
