 Re: Could you go back to film? | |
Can\'t go back, they stopped making Kodachrome. And to be limited to ISO 64 again?? I did one trip with Kodachrome 200 and I couldn\'t see the subject for the grain. Everyone is so obsessed with DR, whats the DR of film? Only 36 shots to a roll of film? What, now I have to pay to get it processed and wait a week? Should I go on?
I was convinced about digital with my 10D and by the time I got my original 5D I was stuck to digital like a limpet. Shooting with a film camera would be like displaying your pictures with a projector on the wall.

The only thing that makes me long for the film days ... No Batteries...
My Pentax Spotmatic from the 70s had its own type of battery and my Canon Elan IIE had a larger, non-rechargeable battery. What fun it was to try to find batteries in a foreign port. My dad\'s Leica from the late 40s didn\'t use batteries and neither did his Westinghouse light meter which still works. Guess I could go back to that. Don\'t think so.
