Ken Rockwell says he's stopped shooting digital for "serious field work" after "earning 100% of my income from digital imaging since the nineteen-eighties!", that he's "been born-again into film," and fallen in love with his slide projector. We already know he's in love with Velvia and his 81A filter.

Discuss. Quiz in the morning.

(Seriously, although Rockwell writes like he takes pictures -- well saturated -- it's good to see someone with his readership gushing about film and film cameras.)
 
Of course, the much-loved super-camera M7 fell out of favor in a few weeks to the M9, which in a week or two has also been relegated to the closet in favor of the Canon S90, the pinnacle of image-making (until net week). I guess it generates a nice income, but hard to take anything he says very seriously.
 
Oh, snap, I'd better hide the Ektagraphic...!

This is kind of like running into an ex-GF who you ditched a few years back, and you notice she's lost a few pounds from working out, and suddenly you want to hook up again...

Someone at RFF should block that domain. KR is just a huge place for banner ads and cross sales. Dont believe anything.

Nonsense. He's got a few affiliate ads but no banner ads.

You have noticed the ads on RFF, have you not?

Rockwell seems to have a lot of fun with cameras. Perhaps too much fun for some tastes, eh?

(He didn't say the S90 was a better camera than the M9. He said it produced images with better colors.)
 
I didn't sell my Kodak Carousel, and Ken can just droll, it is so nice on a December evening to throw a slideshow up on my also expensive screen: I have many, many trays that I have purchased on Ebay (just in case). And Chris101, he is funny.
 
Can you image how nice this would look on my screen, if Ken is reading this:

I bought two Carousels a couple years ago, specifically for a device that projected black and white photos onto a curved rear-projection screen in rapid succession. Since then I have used them to look at my old slides. But now I need more trays.
