| Every now and then I pick up one of my old film cameras with great nostalgia and keep promising myself to go and buy some film.
But then the convenience and ease of a DLSR sort of sways me in the other direction.
Also I have recently had a bad experience with film. I remembered some slides that I had taken back in the seventies that I had not looked at for many years. Lots of interesting memories there I thought. BUT they had just about totally disintegrated. They had delaminated and were just clear film with a bit of dust. Presumably this was caused by poor processing by Kodak, possibly in the final washing stage.
Now - how do we ensure that the digital media we record today will still be pristine in 40 years time?
Sorry - drifting off topic - but I think if you want to shoot film, use film. Otherwise best make use of every convenience digital gives to us.
