What does bother me is bs about this being "the best time" for film photographers, or the constant trashing, from what is now admittedly a very small number of people here, of digital and digital cameras. As to my being hung up on technical aspects, rather than aesthetics of photography - boy, have you got the wrong guy on the "hung up on technical aspects" list we call the LUG. I'd be perfectly happy to never read another post, or post another comment myself, about anything having to do with anything other than images. ;-) On 6/8/06 9:35 AM, "Daniel Ridings" <dlridings@gmail.com> wrote: > I've never understood BD. > > Does it _bother_ you that people use film?
