I shot about a dozen rolls of B&W last week - a few 120 rolls through the 6x7 and several 35mm rolls. I even ordered 50 rolls of Neopan 400 and Tri-X (25 each) since I had depleted my 35mm stock of 35mm ISO 400 films.
By the same token I took about 500 digital images on the K10D and *ist-D last week as well. I do like the look and feel of film, and I like the mental exercise and discipline that comes from shooting film and not seeing the results immediately. I think that the process of pre-visualization is compromised when you immediately see the results on a digital camera. But as for slide film - sorry, I see no point in it unless you are talking medium or large format. The the photos I can make from the K10D blow away anything I could do with slide film, and I was able to get some pretty good results from slide film when I used it. I still have 20 rolls of E100S and Velvia 50 in the freezer that probably should go on ebay... - MCC Margus Männik wrote: > Just wanted to share... > developed 3 rolls of Acros and a bunch of slides this night.
