I’ve been shooting both film and digital this Fall.
The colors I’m getting from the MD 262 are beautiful. Film colors are also beautiful but different.

Photo from MD 262, I’m still waiting for my film to be developed to compare!
What do you think…?

Depends on which sensor, which camara, how the new sensor is, how good the meter in the film camera is, how good the printing is. Fuji has a film emulation mode, in theory the images taken in emulation mode should match film. Second is the film printed with an enlarger or old school package printer or analog mini lab or scanned into a digital file then printed by inkjet or laser on R4. And what does better mean? Yeah I need not only popcorn but a bourbon on the rocks as well,

If you shoot popcorn with a film camera and then with a digital camera, which looks more like popcorn…?

Too controversial to express my opinion, someone might choke on their popcorn...instead...
Which one of the states has the prettiest candidate for Miss America this year?

I’m pretty sure popcorn shot with film tastes better than shot with digital...!

This is a joke, right?
Should I view the hazy landscape on a black & white monitor, or should I use a calibrated color one?

Ektachrome is the most accurate color medium, even more so than the digital color champ Nikon D2x.

I gotta say Miss Delaware, Grace Otley.

Edit: Judging solely by the official contestant protraits. That's all I know about the whole thing.
