Originally posted by stevebrot I concur. 3 or 4 years ago, shooting with a film camera often meant you simply had not yet "upgraded" to digital and were either too poor or too dumb to do so.
Then your statement is along the lines of exactly what I encounter ONE OUT OF SEVEN TIMES when I'm out shooting. One could say that the weird, rude, or angry types are simply behind the times and should just accept that some people just enjoy shooting with film cameras... even Pentax cameras.
My "even Pentax" statement is from a fact that this past June, I was ask by a guy, why a Pentax and film question. I was using my LX at the time and the person pointed out that the Nikon F5 is a superior camera when he got it years ago. I said "you should still use it as it is an AF and fancy metering and all..." and I add that I enjoyed using my LX and it is a very fancy camera and was top of the line when it came out in the 80s. He simply didn't register what I said and pointed out that his F5 was a real camera and quality... "not sure why any one could shoot with less." he then added that maybe the Asian market, they tend to push inferior brand where I come from and that in US, "we Americans" look for the best... I get this all the time too, not looking American? He soon end by smiling and saying that I should look into the new Nikon dSLR that "just came out... nice chatting with you, don't forget my advice to you." and waved and walked to chat with other folks at this event.
