Digital BW, The Print

Yes, there are some of us who prefer film.

I am struggling with the urge to sell both of my R-D1 cameras since the
compromises I am forced to make inhibit me compared my film rangefinder
counterparts...

But back to the original Bluefire film matter, I have placed a picture on my
PAW 2007 <http://www.david-keenan.com/displayimage.php?album=35&pos=0> taken
with this film since I think the high contrast nature of the film suits it.

The clear base probably does affect my reading of the thinness of the film
but the histograms of many of the scans do indicate underexposure.

But it is the lack of midtones and contrast in midtones that are present
that will prevent me from ever using this film again. I understand that it
is the nature of the beast since it was not originally intended as a film
for pictorial use.

Dave.
