Advertisement Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 Hi Wayne, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Wayne Posted December 5, 2020 Share #72862 Posted December 5, 2020 First test shot from Univex Mercury cc. She has a keen interest in my fiddling with old cameras, knowing that success means a walk to test further. Welcome, dear visitor!

atournas Posted December 5, 2020 Share #72863 Posted December 5, 2020 4 hours ago, John Robinson said: There are many reasons to like film. Trawling through old negatives from the mid-2000s (not to mention the 1970s and 80s) reminded me of the endless "film vs digital" arguments that raged at the time (now, thankfully, died down). One thing that cannot be disputed is the function of film as an archival medium. I can go back to my collection of negatives and transparencies and re-scan using the latest technology. Of course, a well-kept digital raw file offers the same possibilities but there are two critical differences: digital preservation is a more demanding discipline than keeping film safe (think about the need to migrate to new media and possibly new file formats every five years or so); in the 2000s the only option to shoot a native 25Mpixel or higher-resolution digital image cost tens of thousands of dollars (e.g. Phase One P25 or P30+) whereas a well-exposed negative or transparency could be scanned to 25Mpixel using a modestly-priced (by comparison) scanner. Hence the film vs digital arguments. Today there are plenty of affordable digital cameras yielding 25Mpixel or higher-resolution, often using the same lenses as the previous film cameras. This creates the opportunity for a different conversation. Is there a "look" about film images that is different from similar images taken on a digital camera? Is there a reason why some film-makers still insist on shooting 35 or 70mm film before transferring to digital for post-production? Why is one of my old photographer colleagues still lugging around a 10x8 view camera for his landscape work? My observation, comparing images from the Leica M9 or SL with my scanned film images is that there is something "clinical" about digital images. For commercial work, publication, syndication etc this is no doubt an advantage. For other purposes ... Looking back at the mid-2000 pictures from London's Regent Park, taken with a 1958 M2, I am struck by the purposeful walking that seems to go across species barriers. A metaphor perhaps?

I was in the same loop for quite some time, posting a lot in this thread. Now, I feel all boils down to those two: film's flaws have some artistic touch, and there is something magic about all-manual, all-metal cameras. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
