Last Monday we had a lecture to mark the 60th Anniversary of our camera club
(http://www.edmontoncameraclub.co.uk/) from Andy Rouse
(http://www.andyrouse.co.uk/), a well known wildlife photographer in the UK.
He uses Canon gear and used to rave about the Pentax 645nII, but has gotten
rid of it since getting the 1D Mk2. He says he gets far better quality and
better workflow from digital than from MF at any conceivable output size,
including billboard.
---------------------
I saw a presentation a few months ago by Sebastao Salgado. He had always been a Leica user. He said in the future he will be using Pentax 645 equipment because of the technical and artistic possibilities of the larger negatives. When asked about digital he said "There is no black and white in digital. Converted color images don't compare with true black and white." He also said he was going to show the plight of animals and the environment in the future. I wonder if he is stockpiling 120 and 220 film?
