Its kind of like folks walking by a Country Western bar. If you are all digital, and film isn’t worth the effort, why exactly are you posting here? Is it to educate all the poor film users about how you think digital is superior? Why does any of that matters? I've taken, developed and printed B/W and color film and wet photographs from 1950-1990 and digital photographs since if that's the level you want to know. If the film bokeh is better, and that's a big subjective "if", it is not better enough for me to go through the film effort just for the bokeh.Īre you at the level that any of this even matters ? Now they seem to be going for £450 (For the AI version), pre lockdown / film revival they were £350. They take around an hour to scan a 24exp film. Just in terms of quality a Plustek 8200i will give you something comparable to, or better than, what you will get from a lab scan. Are you including the cost of a decent negative scanner? Last tine I checked i could get a decent modern digital camera at a fraction of the cost of a decent scanner. I did the math, and for me (bulk-rolled B&W, home developed) it's actually 12 to 15 cents per photo. I had someone on another thread calculate the cost at 40 cents per photo. Great portraits regardless of the medium!Īnd the cost of consumables is difficult to pin down. Also, he didn't seem to believe that I bought a one-from-the-top-of-the-line Nikon N8008S, with three zooms and a 50/1.4, for $100, or a Sears KS Auto (which is rapidly becoming one of my favorite cameras!) with a 50/1.7 for $7. My film cameras certainly had longer service lives than my digital cameras.Īnd the cost of consumables is difficult to pin down. And how often the digital camera is replaced with something higher-tech. but then you have to factor in the cost of a good-quality digital camera versus a good quality film camera nowadays.

Have you included the cost of the film, developing, and scanning to calculate the total effective cost of your photos? A digital camera with exactly the same lens will give you a similar bokeh, and if you bump the ISO then you can end up with a similar grain I don't have a lot of images with directly comparable backgrounds but here are three sets and I am not seeing the disparity between mediums.ġ. If I do my job framing and lighting the content and shoot a background with elements which are engaging and render with character then the medium is just one more element not the endgame. Given identical or similar content and apertures the rendering of the backgrounds is very similar.

The fact that every drop of water or lash may be on view in a scan upped my game when it comes to precise manual focusing

The job is the job and if the client prefers film at that price point, the time frame, and the technical specs, then with my archive it would be silly to not shoot film when the situation allows- particularly considering my film work has improved since scanning became an added step. An hour later you can have two finished files for each look with alternates. Then move on to required PS adjustments.ĭigital files require walking in the house after the shoot, minutes for upload, conversion and tweaking in PS. Add scanning time and dust removal at the pixel level.

Two looks on a bright afternoon shot in color with Provia 100/120 will add 120$ plus two 110 minute round trip drives to drop off and pick up for E6 processing. or betterĭigital has a different feel to it. I know that a very large percent of the folks on DPR think that film is just not worth it and digital is just as good.
