Exactly. Same here. Digital has its advantages, mainly through
convenience. But half of my work (industrial night scenes) is almost
impossible with 35 mm, let alone digital.
Ralf,
I'm curious about your industrial night scenes. What about them makes
them nearly impossible with digital? This is an honest question. I've
found digital's low-light capability to be better than the film I've
used. Though I've found metering to be more difficult (especially flash
metering). On the other hand, white balancing is easier with digital;
no need for tungsten filters, for example. Anyway, I'd like to hear
your thoughts.
