NEW Film vs Digital Forum

[benlees]

Might as well have a sub forum of 'hybrid' vs darkroom just to keep all the mess in one place!

What's the point. . .?

Perhaps it is somewhere to dump troublesome things ... like a latter-day memory-hole if you like

Great place to dump those threads - a place we know to avoid. Unless you like that sort of thing.

Any chance it could be added to the Quick Link list at the left of the page? Same with the SLR forum, it's not there either.

At least it is friendly. On APUG I got banned for saying the world "digital" and "dSLR" in the same post.

I don't think there ought to be a digital vs. film forum; rather, let's use each medium to its fullest potential. As soon as I can afford it, I"m going to buy one of the new Fuji X-100 digital rangefinders. That does not mean I'm going to abandon Fuji or Kodak or Ilford film, nor sell my film cameras. Travelling, I have realized, is made much lighter by the inclusion of at least one digital camera--even if I also carry a film-based camera. Similarly, here in Vancouver, when I want to cover something fully, digital is faster and more economical than film. But shooting film has its pleasures and advantages, even if the resolution "wars" are a thing of the past. So let's all get along, let's use this forum--if we use it at all--to discuss why we choose, among our various bits of gear, to use one medium instead of the other.
"Can't we just all get along!" cries the CCD to the 35mm canister.
