Could not and did not find any justification for Undo/Redo to be a real photographic art form !
It's a beautiful virtual Digital art form, Imaging, Digital Photography, any thing beautiful, But not PHOTOGRAPHY.
100% Photography.
I bought a digital camera in 2003, and I haven't used film since Nor will I: to my mind it has nothing whatever to commend it.
I can achieve vastly better results from digital equipment with far less trouble (no messing about in a darkroom, which I always disliked).
Just for the record, I'm 75 years old, and bought my first 35mm SLR in 1963, so I can claim to have some experience.
100% film here as well. Medium and large format.
I have 6 slr's(2xcannons,2 pentax an Olympus and a practica bc1.i give all of them an occasional run out
its nice not to spend more time making decisions on all the options in the menus and less on actually composing and taking the shot and making sure you get it right before you release the shutter
I shot 5 rolls of Fuji Velvia two weeks ago and just got the transparencies back from the lab. Seeing those 6X7 transparencies on a light table is beyond the satisfaction i get with digital. Medium format film is my medium of choice. There is nothing that compares to film. My weapons are a Mamiya RZ67 Pro 2 and a Mamiya 645 Pro Tl. I never leave home without at least one of them even at night. #Believeinfilm
When I started work in the early 1970s some of my first earnings were spent on a Praktica LTL camera and, as I approach retirement, I still have it and use it from time to time. I even use some of the lenses on my Fuji XT1. Wonder if my Fuji camera will still be going strong 40 something years on.
No 100% film option? Film and film cameras are all I use and own.
If you put an answer "I am 100% digital.", then please also put "I am 100% film."
i use film for about 1 in 3 portrait sitting now I just love the stuff .
I shoot film exclusively. Always have, always will.
There are workarounds online for cameras that previously needed mercury cells, for example I recently got good results from a minolta hi-matic E using a modern 2.7v lithium cell with a fake second battery instead of two 1.35v mercury units
Yes, why no 100% film option? Like many I bought digital cameras in the early '00s but they never gave me what I got out of film. Went back to Film in 2012 and never looked back.
Why isn't there a 100% film option?
I own 4 35mm cameras, (Nikon 3x, Konica 1x), 1 fixed lens digital (X100T)...
I shoot a few rolls a month, and develop my own,
Why isn't there an "I use film exclusively" option?
Last year i shoot 45 films, and yesterday i develop my first negatives at home. C41 process is easy... ;-) scanning too. It's kind of magic!
You forgot 'I own a digital camera but am 99% film'
Ever since I bought my M3 I'm shooting about a roll a week. I take the damn thing everywhere I go and I've never enjoyed making pictures more than now.
I voted 'I’m now 100% digital ' because I traded in my film camera 2 years ago, having stored it for 6 years and not used it. Finally I had to admit that Kodachrome was never going to come back. Also, a 50 x 75cm print from a 16 megapixelAPS-C DSLR file (carefully prepared) looks better than a Cibachrome print from a 35mm 200ASA Kodachrome slide (I have some prints done by Jessops in the 1990s with which to make the comparison). I just wish the DSLR was a simple to use as the film camera.
When you can get a full frame camera with a 50mm f1.4 lens for under $100, it puts the emphasis back on the most important thing- the image.
Digital cameras are valuable tools when you need to check your lighting or you need fast turnaround, but digital technology puts too much emphasis on the camera (expensive and forever updating), whereas shooting film dirt cheap (especially now that I process my film in my kitchen sink) and even expired films can give great image quality. I can even scan an entire roll at once with my inexpensive scanner (formerly used in a minilab), making my hybrid setup comparable to a much more expensive digital setup.
I don't want to chase technology, I just want to make the best images I can. Film makes that goal easier for a hobbyist to accomplish.
I shoot film regularly, on average I finish a roll every couple of months. I wait to get a few rolls done before I develop them in my bathroom.
It's liberating and fun shooting film but I'm yet to get that "wow" quality from my film and scanner.
Oh well, must keep trying!
There is no 100% film option.... some people still are. Some probably are like me... digital cameras are a seldom used backup now.
I went digital in 2005 but I have never given up film and I recently got back into medium format. I am sure I couldn't always tell the difference in a final image but film does handle things differently and good film still gives great results. It is alo a very good discipline for making sure you capture the best image you can at the time of opening the shutter.
