I recently began scanning my old 2-1/4" negatives and the scans quality is superb with detail levels not abtainable on digital format. I just can't waite to start doing my 4X5 neg. As a result of this I come to question the value of a big (20+ megapixel) digital camera. I can take pictures on my Rollei or my ETRS develop the film myself and create incredible enlargements with superb quality. Quality that can't be match by digital cameras or may I say the mood and feeling of film. It is the best of both worlds. just like in cinemathography they expose film and produce a digital product.
We can go back to film using medium format cameras. Buy a double Developing film tank and two film reels a few chemical like HC-110 Developer, Stop Bath, Fixer, Photoflow and bingo we will be producing images of superb quality not in a Darkroom but in our studios, bedrooms, livingrooms, etc. in the company of our families. WAO!
Today you can get a medium format camera for a fraction of what it used to sell a few years back. You can get more, much more for less both in equipment and image. I'am going back to film.
