Survey for Black & White analogue photographers: What kind of film are you using?

My retailer,

the Leica boutique and Camtecphoto in Montreal says they have sold more film last year than any year in recent memory since the Digi Boom.

Film is only now starting to find its groove after the dust starts to settle from the Digi burst.

 

Well, it's not under pressure then.

Hello Andy,

 

Happy 16,000 & many more.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

The more attempts to justify I read for these "surveys" the more they just don't stack up...

FILM FOR PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS

Continuing its ongoing commitment to film photography, Kodak introduced the new KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA 400 Film, featuring the finest grain structure available in a 400 speed color negative film. The new film incorporates technology used in KODAK VISION Motion Picture Film, plus Antenna Dye Sensitization in the cyan and magenta emulsion layers to achieve its unbeatable fine grain. Photographers will appreciate the beautiful, natural skin tones and superb color reproduction of this new film, a long-time trademark of the KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA Film family.

Very Interesting.

In context of the discussion I found this tweet on an interesting article in the British Journal of Photography.

Thanks.

 

What "lessons on human behavior on the social web" do you think this Forum has provided?

[bjdejong]

Hi Andy,

 

I will share my results and my findings on my blog over the weeks to come. If you are interested, follow this thread since I will notify here any relevant updates.

 

With kind regards,

BTW, did you notice the copyright notice at the bottom of this page?

[andybarton]

I know that you are going to drip feed the results, it was your comment quoted above I was interested in initially.

Dear "RedBaron",

 

For sure I have seen the copyright notice, and I do not have any intention to infringe on it.

 

Do you have a specific concern, or am I overlooking something?

 

With kind regards,

Hi Andy,

 

I know. However, I think that the audiance deserves a more contemplative response, one for which I first will need to do some more homework.

 

With kind regards,

The screen-capture of this site, with its images, may be less than kosher. No big deal, but some pros get a bit annoyed.

If that is the whole problem, I am happy to take it off.

Could be considered fair use. Would have to see the context to form an opinion.
