There's no question that the technical results of a top digital camera blow film out of the f'in water. But that's what makes me nostalgic for the film days, in some ways. Getting a really fantastic film picture used to be a special occasion. I'd get an average of one a roll and that cost money. Now I get literally hundreds of amazing images a year and have to print them into big hardcover books to store them. So the special experience of finding that one amazing slide in your box is gone. Same thing with CDs and records. The vinyls are dominated on every parameter and that's what their charm is, like an old, lame, dog.
- pampa 7y agoI don't miss the limitations of a roll of film, I usually took about 10-12 rolls of 120 film on a trip. thats 120-150 frames. Never bracketed, sometimes took two pictures of the same subject from different angles. The habbits carried over, with digital i shoot maybe twice as much (with about the same number of good pictures per trip, so for me more shots != more pics). What i miss is the experience and workflow of a mechanical 6x6 TLR camera. You hold the camera at chest level, look down on the viewscreen, frame, then decide to take the picture or not. Nothing in digital does this yet.
- semi-extrinsic 7y agoI haven't used a TRL, so I don't see what's the difference from just using a digital camera that can flip the screen 90 degrees up? Like an Olympus M1 mk. 3, for instance?
