Well now,
I feel like we have gone over to the dark side a bit but.....so what. My wife (SHHPHOTO) is a fine art photographer and we had to leave behind a 15' x 15' dark room with a 6' x6' square sink for alt pro work on panels
.
Due to the high cost of film and processing, she hasn't been able to shoot much at all for a couple of years!! Whenever she had others process her work, she was never really satisfied with the results so it was either drag down to a university to beg DR time or spend much $$ for results that were not always 100%.
Digital has not only allowed her to start enjoying her passion again, it has allowed me to join her and learn photography by buying a used k10d setup and shooting along side her. I am completely hooked. I was actually hooked 8 years ago when she taught me the basics on her 1st camera... a k1000.
We simply could not afford to have 2 people shooting film in the same house.
Does our k-x and k10d kits produce the same IQ as the medium format Hassy?? MUCH BETTER BECAUSE THE HASSY HASN'T BEEN PRODUCING ANY AT ALL!!!!
Now if we just had a spare $40,000 kicking around we could buy a digi Hassy
