[Digital BW] Re: The megapixel issue - "again" and other issues

2012-03-12 by Paul

It all makes me want to dust off my Rollei twin lens and take a *real* B&W photograph!

Truth is, although I'm about to sell off my Bronica RF645 outfit and remaining stash of Tech Pan film & developer, I'll never sell that Rollei.  And sometimes I probably will take it out just to do something different, and reconnect to an era and medium that is disappearing quickly.  I appreciate the schools (if there are any left) that still have the photo students experience the magic of seeing the film strip full of little negative images as the unwind the film from the reel, and see the image appear in the developer tray under the safelights.  

It's more than a medium that is disappearing; it's an experience and approach to the art.
