Make sure they see how much fun you're having with the film and then play the "Lets compare prints!" game where you set your traditional print down next to their ink jet print and exclaim "Wow, I didn't realize how GREAT this old techology really is!"CZeni said:As one of them just *gave* me about $150 worth of 120 and 35mm film.

Likewise, I know how you feel, isn't it interesting that when people know you're a photographer they expect you to know how to understand, work, fix and analyse every photographic [???] gadget that's ever been invented!
I just tell people that I'm a photographer not a computer engineer!

I'm starting to see a trend with my casual digital snapper friends. They are hating the 'computer' part of the workflow. One even took his film camera instead of the digital on vacation. I was floored when he said it was easier to deal with!gareth harper said:And for the casual snapper who cares about his pictures, lets be honest digital is the way to go.
David A. Goldfarb said:Today's catch from a very busy NYC food photographer who went digital--8x10" Sinar P for $855. Looking at her credits, I'm sure it's paid for itself many times over. I picked the camera up from the studio and it looked like she was working with one of the newer Sinars and a scanning back on a massive studio stand.
Meanwhile, she had another 8x10" P and an 8x10" Norma that I think didn't get any bids. Look for seller bgstudio1 on eBay, if you're interested. I bet they get relisted, maybe at a lower price.
Peter De Smidt said:I think that Sinar P cameras in good shape are tremendous values.
Paul Sorensen said:We get tons of calls from people wanting to sell their darkroom equipment. I guess they figure we are a darkroom, so we must be buying... Well, what often happens is that we tell them that we are not in the market to buy anything and they just give the stuff to us because they don't know what to do with it. I am seriously considering working on this as a fundraising tool for us. We could end up being pretty big sellers on eBay!

I usually stop talking to them after they go digital.
