[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 542351, member: 14443"] yes, but I look at the images and say, wow, film looks horrible. how people accepted such horrible quality. not the composition or subject but the color and grain and low resolution, no clarity in the image vs digial. I remember years back when canon put out the 5d MK1. it was 13mp. popphoto did an article of it vs film and they did a closeup of a sign far away in the image. the canon was much clearer and I thought to myself, this is a hoax, film is much better. there was an article a guy from luminous landscape did of it vs film and I couldnt believe what I saw was true. I was a hardcore (film also) nikon fanboy then as well. I was using 3x f5 at the time and even when the D300 came out, I wasnt budging from film. but looking back at images just 7 years ago, the images are just horrible. the resolving power, grain and color is horrible. and I was using the best gear. today we have it very good . we are spoiled. I just cant believe the restrictions I had when shooting with film. I cant believe I accepted working weddings with this VERY limiting media-film. then I used to lug around 1200w/s monolights to a wedding for proper lighting on the dance floor. it was a nightmare running electrical cords and trying to find outlets for them. today its tiny speedlights. setup and go. agile and flexible.
