Waiting for PMA announcements. Film is mostly B&W in M cameras (too many cameras, too many lenses) and transparency film in SLRs (also too many cameras, lenses!) and when on holiday, in M's as well. I enjoy good transparencies projected on a large screen a great deal, and that is one area that digital can't touch yet at any price, let alone a competitive price. Interesting travel destinations will be recorded with slide film until security/airline regulations make that impossible. Colour and B&W in Fuji TX-1, Horizon, Rollei 35S etc. Also larger film in Mamiya 645, Mamiya 6, Noblex, Hasselblad, RF backs, various 4x5 (Ikeda, Sinar, Cambo). B&W and colour neg. B&W film processed here, colour and some chromogenic B&W sent out. Colour neg and some transparencies scanned (Nikon 8000 and Epson) and printed via Macs on Epson 2200. Larger stuff sent out. B&W printed in wet darkroom 90%; Focomat Ic and Beseler 4x5. 'Darkroom' vs. 'Lightroom' - 30:70. It's a bit hard to say, as some stuff starts out with film, gets scanned, and then printed out of house in various ways. I find that I print (or view on a projection screen) a much higher percentage of the film I shoot than the digital. - -- * Henning J.
