who is still using film?

[Michael Kellough]

I minored in photography back in art school and even though I managed the darkroom for a time and could process a roll of B&W film in less than half an hour of the time it was shot it was still difficult to correlate (learn) exactly how decisions made when shooting affected the final result. Especially when using strobes. Instant results make learning sooo much faster.

Anyone want a Durst  5x7 enlarger?

I shoot both, digital and medium format film.  For film I have a Rolleiflex 6008 and Hasselblad SWC.  Several digital cameras but mostly changed to mirrorless Sony a7r4.

My photo website is sailronin.smugmug.com  if anyone is interested. 
Thanks,
Dave

I took my Bessler 45MX to the dump, couldn't give it away.

I did hang on to the lenses, lens boards, negative carriers, and the Aristo D2 Cold Light head.

I have two Hasselblad C 500 bodies and four lenses.  And a Omega Rapid (also roll film).  The first I used for my portrait studio and the Omega Rapid I used for weddings.  I also have two 1967 Nikon F bodies (bought new) and five or six lenses.  Als a FM-2 and a short zoom. 

I have not used any of them in years. 

But film is not going away.  Forensic labs across the country are returning to film.  It turns out that several convictions had been overturned because of digital manipulation of forensic images.  So to avoid that from being a point of contention they are returning to film. 

So until there is a way to "lock" digital images in the original as-taken form, there will always be a need for film cameras.

The guy at the Wolfe store told me that believe it or not, film is making a comeback. 

As does everything babyboomers with money are sentimental about. See prices of mopeds from the era of their youth go balistic.
