The fact that you have to have a competition for 'film only' only 
dramatizes the fact that the tide has turned. It's like having a 
vintage car rally or a gathering of pinhole enthusiasts. I mean I have 
a pinhole camera myself (and a leica) but they are now more for fun 
than necessity.

At first I thought I would enter a digital picture and see if anyone 
noticed (how ARE you going to police this?) but then the moment passed.

I am still flailing to see the point. Over on Streetphoto we seem to be 
able to discuss photography without continual reference to the medium 
which forms the image. We haven't had a film v. digital argument in 
months if not a year. Nobody cares.
