Thank you Paul. My interest is largely landscape and I don't see any of the major British landscape photographers rushing to digital any time soon. Joe Cornish still has his Ebony, Charlie Waite still has his 'blad, Nick Meers his Xpan and in last months 'Practical Photography' magazine David Noton admitted he was still using Nikon 35mm and Velvia on assignment where it counted. Not everyone asks "what's new?" all the time. Some of us still ask "what's best?". Hopefully there will be enough of us for a few years yet.
