Are you still using film cameras?

With the exception of eBay listings, I've always used film cameras.

why?

digital is much better than film ever was.

Again, let me know when you're ready to compare enlargements of your
photos against mine.

again, this has nothing to do with my photos or your photos or anyone
else's photos.

comparing photos of different subjects taken in different conditions by
different photographers is completely meaningless. there are *far* too
many variables.

the proper test is take two similar cameras, one film and one digital,
put them side by side and take photos at the same time of the same
subject using the same lenses and same settings and then compare.
anything else is a bogus comparison.

similar cameras would be something like a nikon f5 versus a nikon d810
because they are both full frame slrs. the lenses should also be the
same to eliminate yet another variable.

dissimilar cameras and therefore not a valid comparison would be
something like a 4x5 large format camera versus a cellphone camera.
any difference in results would be due to the huge difference in format
size, not film versus digital. it's the same as if you compared a 4x5
film camera with a kodak 110 instamatic film camera or a medium format
dslr with a cellphone camera.

compared to film, digital has higher resolution, less noise, wider
dynamic range, more accurate colour and is capable of significantly
higher iso. digital will win every single time, no matter what the
subject is or who the photographer is. this is something that can be
measured and has been measured.

to put it simply: anything you can do with film can be done better with
digital. end of story.

if someone likes the 'film look' (which is a vague and meaningless
term), they can add back whatever it is they like about film, whether
it's grain or velvia-like colours or whatever else.
