Re: Arsat f2.8 35mm tilt and shift

[Paul Stenquist]

I don't think it's surprising or ironic that the digital workflow is 
predominant here. It is exactly that in the entire photographic world. 
I'm not sure that I'm totally pleased with that, but I've accepted it 
as a reality. Even the labs are printing film digitally. You have to 
look long and hard to get a true optical print these days. In a year or 
two, you won't be able to get one unless  you do it yourself. In five 
years, there will be a "film forum" on PhotoNet. Eventually, it will be 
merged with the classic cameras forum. Am I pleased that things are 
going that way? Not necessarily, but I'm a realist. I know that I can 
continue to shoot some film as a hobby, but that will be probably be 
the extent of it.

Not everyone who shoots film scans the negs ...
Still, the comment reflects, imo, the digital workflow mind set which, 
all
too often, seems to be predominant.

It's better to get your photos right at the time of exposure, not
everyone
uses Photoshop, and plenty of people don't scan negs, but, rather, 
make
prints directly from them.  Sheesh, Jens, your's is a short sighted
perspective ;-))

Who needs a shift lens if you have Photoshop? I never use mine
(28mm)
anymore. Even if you shoot film, you still scan the negs, right?
