Film ...
Because a "File" is not and can never be a photograph.
One's "File" can't even be viewed in its entirety absent a $5,000 "4k" monitor currently being hawked by SONY as "The new standard". Even then the "4K" falls short.
Your dying mother cannot hold onto a "File" in her last minutes as her gateway reminder to a life well lived surrounded by a loving family.
A well-scanned negative/transparency from say NCPS is 15MP (Which would require much more in native camera MP. More can be extracted by wet drum techniques IF the craze for murals infects.
Leading experts in photography who are themselves accomplished artists (Ming Thein) report a FAR HIGHER keeper rate with film (3X higher). Whatever is driving that higher keeper rate is a good thing and the Digital Muppets are missing out.
No, Dear Readers, a photograph is not a "File"—they have something a "file" can never achieve.
They offer tangibility ... but demand a bit of skill.
Does film cost more than digital?
Not when the Tsunami of planned obsolescence has laid waste to the "Digital Muppets" being led like fur balls to the financial cliff's edge. SONY leads the oppressors in this regard.
Our gain flows from their ignorance—A pristine ebay NIKON FA = $110. The "Muppets" apparently haven't heard about Matrix Metering.
THAT film is coming back can be observed on Ebay at the falling number of good film 35mm cameras (FM3a) and their rising $450-$500 current bids. Soon you'll see $750 for 30 year old Japanese mainstream 35mm SLR cameras.
Indeed, NIKON might do well to reintroduce an all mechanical camera OTHER than their student intro FM10. This is true even as we can grab a very good F100 for a song. Of course they would need to reintroduce their AIS line ... with a $1,000 each tag and Whiz Bang "Nano" coatings.
Nikon/Canon are lens companies hampered by their own legacy quality inventory. We win by rethinking/using a "New" detector.
