Shooting film and having them scanned is not such a bad compromise if it
means being able to still use my twin lens Rolleiflex camera every once in a
while..
You can get places who can make nice sized scans and put them all on a CD
when they run your C41 film for you. Adds twenty buck to it. Those scans
can be just fine for the internet, small prints and most things. Sticking
that CD into your computer and putting them with all the rest of your
captured files takes a minute and then you can pretend you shot it digitally
in the first place in no time.. Just don't start looking for metadata
telling you what f stop you used.
