So, why do you shoot film, or if you don't, then why don't you ?
Discuss please !

Well, so far it seems that the main reason for using film is the feel and tactile side of it.
No one has said that one is better than the other because of whatever..
Interesting.
I had expected a raft of film users saying that film had more detail, tonality and warmth (like valves over solid state amps maybe).

I am considering buy a M/F mamiya 67....I wonder about the cost - benefits of such a purchase.
There are no xp drivers for the minolta, the software I downloaded to identify the scsi raid controller thingy piece of utter crap,
, but I liked the smell of fixer on my hands.:shrug:
Hi Ali, have you got any sample shots from your 645? I was looking at one on ebay as a step up from my old yashica mf. Would you reccomend it? Any ideas what the difference is between te 645 pro and 645 superI have a mamiya 645 so I can shoot and develop my own B&W. I've only just bought it and waiting for my new scanner to be delivered. I chose not to print from the negs because I'm not that skilled at printing and I think photoshop is a much safer way for me to manipulate the image. (It has an undo button and a revert one!)
I'm running a roll of colour film through it at the moment just to get the hang of manual controls again.
My Eos5D has all sorts of metering modes and focus mechanisms. The mamiya has two, fully manual and, with the metered prism, aperture priority. Focus is, of course, all manual.
So yes without all the technology I do have to think more. It makes taking the photo more of a study to me.
5 hours later.....
I still have no idea about anything...
The scanner lights up and goes through a test sequence
When I click on the minolta software pc shuts down, reboots and in device manager the scsi raid controller thingy piece of utter offal cannot start.
So uninstall it, re install it....rinse..repeat.
There are no xp drivers for the minolta, the software I downloaded to identify the scsi raid controller thingy piece of utter crap, cant identify it, so I dunno what drivers that might need.
I dont know if the scanner works
I dont know if the scsi port works, in short I know bugger all
Its either £70 for a scsi to usb converter, or this £400 waste of effort is going in the bin.
wheres the angry as a bag of wasps smiley
Don't know if you are still struggling, but I've just read your post.
You may have the wrong SCSI card. You've got a raid controller, rather than a straight forward SCSI card that may be the problem.
Also without XP drivers you may not get the Minolta scanner to be seen by your software.
