Guest flatfour Posted January 30, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had to send my Digilux 2 back to Solms last October and got it back just before Christmas. Since then I have used it for all sorts of situations particularly where its low light performance helps in these dark winter days. Then at the weekend with bright sunlight I got out the M6 with standard 50mm Summicron and XP2. After taking a few shots I was quite surprised how I had missed the sheer pleasure from using an M6 – and the smooth feel of the film advancing. I haven’t developed the film yet but I’m now surer than ever that I shall not get rid of the M6. If an M8 came along I suppose I might just be tempted.

andybarton Posted January 30, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2007 There is a place for both media, IMHO. On Sunday, in Chester, I shot both film and digital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT Posted January 31, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 31, 2007 As a bit of a "returnee" to film (or perhaps a digital refugee?) I love the way the two approaches complement each other. Something about having a "fixed" number of shots and no way to check your results in the field definitely makes me slow down and think about what I am doing with film. My keeper ratio with film is slowly climbing. Having said that, I do quite a bit of sports and ballet shooting and in those cases I use film only for contemplative dugout or "in the wings" backstage shots. But with B&W it is film all the way -- my D2x, even with every trick I know, does not come close IMHO. JT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminw Posted January 31, 2007 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2007 I'd never say good bye to Film unless I'm forced to, because there is no film available anymore. With Film you get such a unique look to your image, which you simply can't really get digitally and let's be honest it's the negative that has a certain value too. Ideally one would use both mediums.
