I wasnt attacking you. i agree with what you said and it just plain sucks thats all, wther your clients or just Mr X it's all the same the film industry is dispearing.

Fuji stopped there processing dept, Konica, kodak, nikon sotpped all film ect... not blaming you, just saying that is one of the reasons "forced to change to the format."

So as a casualty of war I have converted fully to digital, but I do occasionally still shoot film because film has a feel to it that cannot be duplicated digitally by even the best PS operators.
werd only reason i shoot in digi now as well.

I have about 25 rolls of shot film in the fridge that's at least 4 years-old. Most of it is 35mm 100asa 36exp. I've seen them hold up longer, but I need to get them processed. We used to do C-41 here, and since then I haven't wanted to pay for it anywhere else.

It's time, though :hs: Thanks for the reminder.

When I DO get them processed, I think I'm going to have them made 5x7 or 4x6 and make scans from those to put on my computer. Unless the technology has changed in the last 2 years, scans made from negs are horrible and still too expensive. h:

Costco is still the cheapest around for us. 4x6 .$17ea 5x7 $.39ea The C-41 processing might be ~$6 for a roll of 36exp.

Probably since '02, when I got my first digital camera... which I'm still rocking.

I confess to being one of those who picked up a Kodak Advantix camera in like '96. Despite my technological proficiency, I was an utter tard when it came to film. I'd either ruin the film trying to load the camera, or forget to rewind it before I tried to take it out and ruin it. To this day I have no idea why I had so many problems, but at the time advantix was the answer for me.

It's still sitting under my bed somewhere, untouched in 5 years.
