For film lovers…and Ken Rockwell fans!
I don’t know you but I have never stopped to take pictures with film cameras! May one day I will explain you the reasons why I do this but today I invite you to read the recent Ken Rockwell reviews of two films (both slides).
First we have the Fuji 400x review. I tried the film and I do not like the color rendition. If I have to use 400 ISO I preferr to use the Kodak Portra 400VC or the Fuji Neopan 400 black and white film.
Than we have the Kodak Ektachrome E100G review. I like this film for street photography. I use it a lot!
And if you have time read his very provocative article over film quality against digital photo quality!
I agre with him to 99%!
Remember the best camera is the camera you can carry with you! And if you do not have money but want to be a real photographer buy an old Olympus RC! It is a fantastic camera (with his used price set at only 50$) and at low ISO it beats the image quality of the Nikon D700!

4 years ago |Think what you will. I respect it, but as any other zealot, Ken Rockwell just likes to show the view from his window as if it was the Ten Commandments.
I for one have always tried to think outside the box (even if it was my box).
Digital has been the French Revolution of Photography and 1,000,000 Ken Rockwells can’t change that.
Cheers.

2 years ago |I couldn’t agree more with Ken Rockwell–film is cheaper, better quality, and longer lasting. I also don’t have to buy a new camera every year, but enjoy picking up “obsolete” premium quality cameras for a song.
My collection of 100 year old family photos might not exist today if they had been digital images.
Long live 4×5, 6×9, 6×7, and 35mm!
When I want to send a quick email, it’s digital. All else is film.
