john_perkins2 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Film vs digital, yawn. Is it too much to ask, just for a week or two? Some people may see it as more important than the Enron scandal, the Iraq invasion, immigration, globalisation, David Beckham's haircuts, Princess Diana's death, Janet Jackson's breast, Magnum's new nominees. If it's that important to you, please keep it to yourselves, just for a while. There are more important things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 <I>"There are more important things in life."</I> <P>Not on this forum there aren't. I was tired of these threads six months ago. But the masses here love to talk about it. So just sit back and enjoy the foolishness. Or join in and make some grandiose statements yourself. Here's one to get you started: <P> <b><i>"Film will be completely extinct by May 14, 2006. The last roll will be used to photography the 3rd birthday party of Susan Silverthorn. The photos will be shot by her brother Jonathon Silverthorn (age 16), for a final project in his "Failed Technologies 101" class at the local magnet high school."</b></i> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith_merrill Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hey Dennis, what ever happened to that guitar for sale thread? I have one of them up for sale on epay, but I stop the auction for anybody who is interested in parting with some cash, or a noctilux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackers_. Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 This is important. If Monica had a digicam instead of a canvas, Clinton would have left, Gore grabbed the throne and Bush would have lost to an incumbent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_. Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Same if Clinton had been a Leica fondler instead. Then again, they lie about it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_duffy1 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Alright, i've seen the error of my ways. this old dog can learn new tricks. so, how long do you leave this sensor chip thing in the Rodinal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis_couvillion Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 "I really don't care if people use film or digital provided they keep it to themselves...." ...but what if they're toe-fetishists, Harvey? ;>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d. light Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 In this Leica forum film will die a very long and painful death. After that.......... some time will pass. People loitering around. Nothing to do. Suddenly,....some will witness the fresh rebirth of film. Just to make you happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis_couvillion Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Keith: I've got 12 cases of canned baked beans, 19 cases of canned creamed corn, and i6 of canned asparagus that I need to unload. I got'em at a salvage auction and they're taking up space in my shed. Let's try to have like a garage sale here of whatever you need to get rid of. Maybe we can sell Jay to the Digital Forum? Just a thought... ;>) Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_. Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 >>how long do you leave this sensor chip thing in the Rodinal? Tom: I will start at 7 minutes and experiment with it until I am satisfied. Then I will do it exact the same over and over in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 New Kodak films were introduced today. Should that go in the photography news forum or the film is alive forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackers_. Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Dennis, things have changed since Y2K. A case of beans ain't worth a quarter-brick of Tri-X anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I've got 12 cases of canned baked beans Okay, lets have an auction for Jay. I'm offering my old school conker, my egg stained old school tie, and a invitation to my local pub the Bull and Abuse....on Friday night, fight night. Just to prove i'm serious i'll throw in my old girl friends knickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake_tauber Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Here are the top 5 reasons why I think there should be more film vs. digital threads: 5. No one gets confused by the facts. 4. All the jabbering keeps your keyboard lubricated. 3. Enough talk and you never have to actually take a picture 2. I love the sound of the word, �sensors�. And the number one reason why I think there should be more film vs. digital digital threads is: 1. Futile conversations cause more drinking.

dan flanders Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I play with the hardware, not the sensitive medium! No fun in a strip of acetate or square of plastic � I like to push buttons and listen to bells and whistles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_merrill Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I think we will have to throw the case of creamed corn with Jay to the digital forum, otherwise we might have to pay them ;-) I will throw in a some used motor oil out of a '64 corvair, a coffee stained electric bill, unpaid, nude pictures of my dogs, and and a current b&h digital catalog, unopened.

terry_rory Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 It doesnt matter to me. If film is unavailable one day then I will get a digital camera. The camera store sales person will NOT turn around and say... "Its too late, you should have bought a digital camera in 2004 when the PN Leica forum told you to." He or she will not say... "Because you were using film after 2004 you were blacklisted and you may never buy a digital camera ever." If (oh horror!) I decide to use film AND digital no-one will ever arrest me and remove my film camera! It is actually NO-ONES business to 'permit' or 'approve' what I or any of you choose to take photographs with. The manufacturers will make both technologies all the time it pays them to do so. If it no longer pays anyone to make and process a film at some time in the future then tough, go digital. Thats it.

dominic_. Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 <p>If it weren't for film vs. digital threads, we'd have one less topic to argue aboutm (which is what this forum's really for right?). Who knows, maybe we could have a tally for film vs. digital threads (however we'd need a full time volunteer). Besides, its amusing to read and watch people bite at each other (my Canon 1Ds is twice the quality of your cheap ***<u>Insert Film Camera <i><b>here</b></i></u>***, etc.)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
