Hijacked: Re: OT - Digital camera question
I'm not weighing in on the camera other than to say: optics. Regardless of the
format.
Darkroom work, huh? NOW I have something to say. I was a master B&W darkroom
technician. And I sucked as a color tech. I know I'm asking you to accept that
at face value and nothing I "say" will sway you one way or the other. With that
said, I can do things in photoshop in MINUTES that used to take DAYS in the
darkroom. In B&W and color, too. H#ll, I can do things in photoshop that could
never be done in the darkroom. I will never go back into a darkroom. Ever.
Oh, shooting film can be compared to driving a bus. There's something there
that can't be gotten from shooting digital.. .or driving a water-cooled
automatic. Think of me as that vw mechanic that never, ever wants to see
another bus again. I sold all my commercial gear, which was old school film,
and never looked back. The only film camera you'll see me use today are those
point-and-shoot boxes you find at the checkout counter.

My brother used to do that when we were kids. He's as non artistic as they
come, but could photograph and develop some B&W photos that would make a pro
take notice. He still has his old school Nikon. He got a nice digi camera, but
went back old school almost immediately.

save money and develop your own film ;-)
the upfront will cost alot but the end product will be alot cheaper and you
will have better control over what you do as apposed to taking it somewhere to
have it developed/printed.

right now for dark room equipment

I really love photography but it is an expensive hobby. For a film camera it
is like 40 cents +/- every time you click the shutter not counting the cost of
the camera or having enlargements made. I have been thinking about stepping up
to a nice Digital SLR camera but they are a little pricey. Does anyone have
one they? If so can you share your cost benefit analysis?
Thanks
