[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Just read the latest B&W Magazine from UK. They ran a small article on TMax 3200 film. Feeling is that there is a resurgence on film but in B&W. In them olden days, we had more items to talk about and the variety of films enriched our lives. Then various lenses and their fingerprints was good for conversation. I hope films come back to some extent. There is a lot of play in films. I don't think films will replace digital and they should not. Although I shoot digital more than film, conversations surrounding digital photography is by comparison "boring".
