RE: [Leica] Kodak Focus

You're pegged it, Jeffery - Film will indeed complement digital, filling
in those gaps that digital doesn't cover, and being used by a handful of
artists and others who, for various reasons, find that film allows them
to express themselves in ways digital does not. I know that at this
point I'll be sticking with film for "available darkness" and when I
need a 21 mm lens. At this point, anyway.;-)

I think people were waiting for the technology to slow down a bit (as
in, why buy a 3 megapixel Canon when a 4 megapixel Canon will be out in
a few
months) and the prices to stabilize (go down) a bit. Nikon and Minolta
seem to be coming out with a major new digital every year, with Minolta
just released an image stabilized camera. With the economy in a slump,
many of us are just waiting for the best digital camera for the money to
arrive.

I'm waiting anxiously for the new Sony, Pentax, and Olympus digitals to
hit the market. The die-hard folks on the Street Photography forum are
digitizing. I'll bet even Ted will move to digital when the right camera
for his kind of available dark work is produced. Like the digital back
for a Leica R.

I think film will complement digital, not the other way around. If that
seems like I'm using doubletalk, I think that the primary emphasis will
be on digital.

For the last four years I've been hearing that digital will replace
film. It

hasn't happened. Digital will complement film. That's the message.
