Are you resorting to religious argument now? No. I simply assume that most photographers have at least a vague idea how film and digital capture work (although I've noticed that this is an increasingly dangerous assumption), and so there is no need to explain to them why film would have higher resolution. It would be like explaining to them why an f/2.8 lens is more versatile than a f/8 lens. Quite so, but they cannot, on that basis, make any deduction except that it is possible to make good images using film. I'm not sure anyone was doubting that. Some people have never seen good images from film, and so they incorrectly assume that film cannot produce good images. Poor scans and poor prints are legion. People cannot rationally "decide for themselves" without seeing evidence. I've provided that. You see, there are many ways of looking at things other than yours. Yes, I know that. I try to see everything. Make your decision as you wish, but please do the rest of us the courtesy of not assuming that our decisions are based on ignorance. When I see ignorance, I try to provide enlightenment. I don't take ignorance for granted, but I don't pretend it's not there when I see it, either. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Following up to bigbrian As far as cost is concerned its a total no brainer. only at the low quality end. Full frame SLRs are still prohibitively expensive Yes a decent digital SLR costs a bloody fortune. At least as an initial outlay - which is enough to put a lot of people off. As an aside, there was a snippet in a recent New Scientist that mentioned the Mt. Palomar Observatory. It has a video done by Patrick Moore back in the '80s saying that the telescope used a CCD device for capturing images - 0.5 Mega pixels. Amazing. I wonder what it used nowadays, and other telescopes for hat matter, as none of them have used film for years. Aha, I just visited their website. It's effectively a 161 megapix jobby. fx fast-show jazz club voice Nice /fx That would get you some serious hard-disk space problems, I'd have thought. -- Tim. If the human brain were simple enough that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't. |

That would get you some serious hard-disk space problems, I'd have thought. Apparently some images are 8000 megapixels in size, when certain scanning modes of the imaging device are used. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
