Re: [Digital BW] A bit OT....MF to b/w print

The saving grace of film was that at least it made people be a little more
selective about their images. Digital is a wonderful step forward (in the
hands of those who have someting between their ears), but it is also a
plaque a thousand times worse than cancer or aids.

That is complete nonsense, photographers that shoot film and are supported 
by companies with deep pockets will shoot huge amounts of film. There is a 
photographer that traveled with the naturalist that spent two years walking 
across central Africa. He is publishing a book of his photographs (with I 
believe 106 images). Over the two years he shot 25,000 images. He was 
supported by National Geographic. If you don't like Digital that's up to 
you, but enough is enough. Calling Digital a plague (I think that's what you 
meant, not "plaque") a thousand times worse than cancer or aids is way over 
the top.
