Let me know when you are ready to compare enlargements (Let's say 16"x20" or more) of your photos against mine. Are you still using film cameras? -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

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. |

Again, let me know when you're ready to compare enlargements of your photos against mine. What camera/film do you use? Film is usually color negative from a major manufacturer. If I am shooting 35mm, the camera is a Canon FX with one of the Canon FL-mount lenses. If I am shooting medium format, the camera is either a Mamiya M645 or Koni Omega Rapid M. The Koni is a rangefinder, so it's easier to use in dim light and it has a larger neg: 6x7cm; but it is heavy and bulky. The Mamiya is an SLR, considerably smaller and easier to handle, but the viewfinder is not as bright and blacks out at exposure. -- Ken Hart |
