Maybe we shall have a change in our uses, film is film and digital is digital, if the way of the digital is simulate the film maybe is a wrong way, the only thing we can demand is improve the quality on dynamic range, but IMO the appareance of the film and the digital will be always different. Your option is a very good one, similar to what I do, but my use of film is not always. cheers Lluis El 06/04/2012, a las 3:31, Geoff Hopkinson escribi?: > Lluis of course you are right.
