Why start digital if you never used digital before? You have to start everything at some point don't you?
Never shoot BW? Oh I see, but what if you wanted to try? By selling ALL your film bodies and saying "never use film again" you have burned your bridges and limited your creative possiblities. To me, with 35mm film cameras so cheap now, it is worth having at least one just for fine grain BW because the results are still better than APS 6MP Digital for that application.... -----Original Message----- From: Christian Skofteland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2004 9:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Film is Dying? (was Pentax is Dying?) My point JCO, is that I never shot Tech Pan before so why would I start now? And why would I compare it to the *ist D? Apples and Oranges. Even I can see that. I implied that the D replaced film *for me* and the way *I* make pictures. I make no assumptions for other people and their styles.
