I sometimes miss the old film days. Especially when I see all these photographers out there who don't know the first thing about photography. Where is the skill anymore? Blasting away 4000 photos in a day and saying I can fix that in the processing. Just looking at the web there is sure a lot of mediocre to poor photos out there being passed off as great work. That being said I know there are a lot of film shooters in this group. Kudos to those who still have the wherewithal to be able to still use film. If I still had room for a darkroom, I would use my R8 more often.

For many years, photographers chose their slide films based on what they were shooting and what color palette and film speed and grain structure they could get with certain films. I used Kodachrome almost exclusively up until Kodak turned the processing over to Qualex. Qualex ruined Kodachrome processing and routinely sent me slides contaminated with chemical splotches, cut between the frames, and severely over or under developed. I gave up, bought a Jobo processor and switched to all E-6 films. I came to like some of them - Provia and Astia in particular - but none of them ever equaled my old Kodachrome 64 :-( Gone but not forgotten!!
