If I were to go digital, here's why...

Hi Mark & All...
Is it a valid assumption these days, that most working pros shoot digital?

Yet, there's got to be a reason that Kodak developed its Portra... and Fuji, the NPH. Both of these emulsions are popular with wedding & portrait types.
Until recently with newer cameras, the MP wars and various bells & whistles... the cameras of working pros of most genres in Israel, have been the 350D and N70. If I showed up on assignment [now happily retired] with an Leica M2 or even a Pentax *1st DS2, they'd look at me like I'm some kind of nut case!

Ciao, mike

Or other ideas? I have no money to make any changes anyway, plus I oggle over my R3M.
I have borrowed a Nikon D70s and a Pentax K100D. Nice for what they do and I love changing the ISO whenever but they are way too clunky for me.:bang:

Consider a medium format system with interchangeable backs. I do this all the time with my Bronica. I have several backs each loaded with a different film. I can switch backs at any time.

xp2 or protra 800 and ND9 filter. all better for under $15. also, some digital cameras have a problem with noise at higher iso settings, if you're printing.
 
Shoot in 6x9: at 8 exposures per roll, that's only 2 or 3 pictures with bracketing 😀

Or use Diafine with Arista Edu Ultra 100 (made by Foma): you can shoot on the same roll between ISO 100 and 400 and get usable negatives.
