Re: I want to give film a try
I often get my reasons mixed up when it gets written down. Been burned a few times on the Alamy forum for the same thing. I don't want to disturb my credibility as a photographer by giving the wrong reasons for buying a film camera. It's best I just mention that it's so I can say that I gave it a try.
Too many times old film guys say to me "you young ones have it easy. you can just delete anything you don't like and correct it within 3-4 shots" that sort of stuff really sticks in my throat. I often hear that sort of thing in the film versus digital debate, and I am curious to see what this air of mystery is all about.
I just want a 35mm film SLR with a 50mm 1.8. Stick a roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 monochrome film in on a sunny day and soak in the romance of photography from an era long forgotten.
