Some Reassuring News from Ilford!

I suspect that LF film is going to continue to drop away more rapidly than 35mm — elsewhere in APUG there was a post about Fuji discontinuing Velvia and Provia in 5x4 quickload (?)...

I disagree. Color film will be the first to go, initially E-6 and C-41 later. In the realm of black and white, I think LF film will be around longest. It doesn't require perforating and assembly in metal cannisters like 35mm, doesn't need paper backing like 120 and, since it's larger, uses up more of a master roll per camera exposure.

So get out there and shoot some LF. Better yet, ULF.

Seriously, you sound like someone who hangs out at DPR rather than someone who actually burns film on a regular basis. If you actually preferred film for it's "look" you'd probably find less time to argue about BS such as the amount of grain in film vs digital.



Then stop comparing things based off of "resolving power" dude. You contradict yourself and it's quite apparent you're a pixel peeper.

1. I didn't bring the subject of digital up. I think it might have been you!
2. I never contradicted myself.
3. Learn to read and comprehend.
4. What is DPR? Someone mention I hang out there?!?

Show us your 'proof' or STFU.

If I have to show you proof, then what does it say about you? Where have you been? Have you been taking pictures? Have you been using both mediums? If the answer is no, then STFU!

No, you don't prefer or shoot film 95% of the time, if you did, you wouldn't say the atrocious things you so often present us with. Avoid that topic you so much love or leave digimon, your "fish" don't sell at this marketplace, you don't belong here.

Ok, we'll have it your way. Since you're a mind-reading deluded snob that has no reasoning abilities, I won't debate you.

I never brought up digital in this thread...I was responding to one of you snobs that think any medium that is not film is craaap.

It is sad that there is little objectivity, little truth in this forum.
