[QUOTE="SamSpade1941, post: 69716, member: 10336"] You make some very valid points sir and I don't disagree, but slide film is not about shooting in near dark conditions at fast exposures. Camera equipment are all wrenches in a tool box and everything has its place. I will not lies many years ago when I worked at the news paper I would have killed for a D40 or any other DSLR for that matter. The ability to shoot the image and then immediately preview the image is awesome. Its even nicer to not have to wait for the images to come from the dark room and wait for prints to dry. However the technical quality is not there yet with for digital cameras to totally replace film either. There are still a lot of professionals who are shooting medium and large format , there are just not a lot of professionals who are shooting 35mm anymore. It was the mainstay of newsprint journalism , when digital SLRs became practical they abandoned 35mm speed is the name of the game news paper journalism. People who have more lead time and need more technical quality can and do still use the larger formats of film. I would love to have a medium format digital camera as I primarily shoot landscapes but I also like living under a roof, for me the option is I probably can afford a used Mamiya , Bronica or Maybe Hassleblad at some point to shoot film. I can never afford to shoot a leaf or phase one back or even a D800 Nikon. I foresee a market for medium format film for sometime to come , I see a 35mm film market which very well may be dead in less than 15 years. JMTC nothing more. [/QUOTE]
