[QUOTE="STM, post: 308186, member: 12827"] I have to disagree with you about film. Film is [I]far[/I] from going the way of the dinosaurs, it is just becoming more of a niche market. I know probably about 75% of all the professional photographers here in town and, like me, almost to a man they prefer to shoot their [I]personal[/I] stuff on film. For my personal stuff I prefer the Hasselblad over everything else but I can't post much of it here for obvious reasons. It's quality blows the doors off digital. I only switch to 35mm when I need a focal length that is not covered by the 5 Carl Zeiss lenses I have. No one will dispute however that for commercial work digital is better because it allows much quicker turnaround times and is less expensive overall next to film and with a large enough card you have essential unlimited frames available. Back in the day when Hasselblad was king for weddings, you had to have a least a half dozen or more A12 magazines and assistants to load and unload them. [/QUOTE]
