Definitely, the purist market will always keep film alive, in my
opinion, just as CDs won't ever kill vinyl. Digital, no matter how good
it gets, will never be the same as film, and some people will always
prefer the style of film photos.
You can never tell, though, railways didn't make the horse and cart
obsolete but the motor car did. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Hi all,
digital.......... I wont use it until it completely saturates the
photographic market, meaning film use will be incremental as compared to
digital use. Dont get me wrong, the logic behind digital is fantastic
and one day we WILL be saying....., WOW! The idea of printer,
scanner, mac and a fantastic Oly digi SLR sounds great to me :) (though
I will shed a tear for the 35mm OM System).
But, my question regards traditional B&W photography. Maybe, the
darkroom (and ever improving C-41 process B&W's?) will become something
of great importance when electronic imaging is dominating the production
and reproduction of images? Maybe not. Maybe it will become something of
the purist?
My disease is talking to me again....................., our 3Ti's and
4Ti's will be able to become readministrated with digital accessories.
Maybe not. Damn :(
Chow.......,
Damo
