• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

A time when people used to do the most amazing things with very little.
Now we live in a time where people do very little with most amazing things.
 
Digital photos are fine and convenient, but I miss my Kodachrome slides and Ilford B&W films as well as 8X10 Polaroid. They were/are the most beautiful images ever! :applause:
 
For the consumer market, they just do not MAKE anything like the old Kodachrome. Y'all can have yer digital photos, I'd really like to have it back. I use for close-up in the garden and digital don't really do the job.
 
To be fair, you cannot compare just any digital camera to 4x5 film. Medium format digital cameras cost anywhere from 30-60k, and even then they are still a lot smaller than 4x5.

Digital has come a long ways in 15 years. Today's full frame DSLR's are putting out images with better quality than 35mm film.
