My fear is that the contraction of the film market gives us ever-fewer choices, especially in 120 and 35mm black and white.

Thanks for your comment, Jim. My impression is that film handles harsh contrast and depth of colour slightly better. My M8 does a marvelous job with colour, no doubt, and specifically when light is fading, but I have a hard time getting the same blues and reds and yellows the (very) ancient IIIC and lens provide! But this is a very partial point of view, I know.Jean-Michel > From: jshulman at judgecrater.com > Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2011 09:16:27 -0400 > To: lug at leica-users.org > Subject: Re: [Leica] film again!! > > The camera in your hand puts no camera to shame. > > Jim Shulman > Wynnewood, PA > Who still, kicking and screaming, shoots film.
