How can a solution to a second order PDE result in a curve? Should not be an Ordinary differential equation? Also, If you're talking about silver deposities density on the film plate, I'd expect a First order one, much like population problems in mathematics.

I don´t really care. If the picture is a good one, it is regardless of the technology involved.

Also I agree with other posts. People find B&W beautiful. Many never used film, don't understand the process, the craft. Don't want do spend money or time. But they like it. So they do it. Maybe some will use film some day, and understand it's peculiarities. Or not. We must let people achieve any technical level they want.

Godfrey..that was the best reasoned response that I`ve ever read on the subject.
Dennis .... you`re slow off the mark on this one ... need to sharpen up 🙂

I think you are correct ... I'll have to review my differential equations notes .. It's been a while since I did the analysis (twenty years and some). 🙂

Thanks, Michael!
I also agree wholeheartedly with Ezzie's comment:
I've often quoted the aphorism, "Equipment often gets in the way of Photography!"
Lately I'm thinking of another, similar corollary a lot, "Photographers should think more of quality images and less of image quality."

Digital B&W is not awful... but I've never seen a good (personal taste) digital B&W that does not look like B&W film.
As to why it's popular, because for today's younger photographers (large demographic), that's all they know or have experience with.
Having said that, I recently sold an RB67 kit to a young photography student who said that he just loves film. 😀

Couldn't this be a 'Why DON'T we have a digital b&w thread'?
Could be a good way to demonstrate the pros and cons. I know there are Leica Monochrome threads out there, but digi b&w in general? I don't recall seeing one.

As a dyed in the wool pedant anything you can see on your computer screen is in fact analogue.😱
