I recently retired and am getting back into serious photography again after
about 25 years. I used by old cameras to take pictures of the kids and travel
shots then just took the film to Costco. I started looking around and was amazed
at what had changed over the years. I currently use a Canon A-1 and a
Rolleiflex. I am used to getting really good results but I like the idea of
using a digital and being able to put pictures on the web. I still want to get
excellent quality prints when I need them. My problem is should I keep using
film and scan it or am I better off to stop using film and just buy new equipment?
What is an old photographer to do?

I would like to thank all of you for your advice. I enjoyed reading your answers and looking at your pictures.
Like Brent I wasn't looking forward to dealing with chemicals again. I was thinking I could develop in the bathroom then scan the negs. What I really am worried about is getting the quality I want. So far it seams that if I get the right software and a decent camera I can get good photos with a little work. I think the thing to do is to start experimenting with a digital camera and see how they stack up to my expectations. It is going to be hard to beat the Rollie, I wish I could get a digital back for it. I could buy a new one but I would have to take a 2nd Mortgage on the house.
Canon has a scanner that does both 35mm and 120 does anyone have experience using it?
Please keep the advise coming I am having a lot of fun.
