The Chinese that I knew from Taiwan and Hong Kong seem to have "let go" better than some others I guess.

I really like how the US and Japan were able to bury the hatchet after a pretty brutal war. I love going to Japan and meeting Japanese people. They are extraordinarily kind. ...
Based on your reasoning since vinyl discs sold miserably « at the end of their life » when CD took over, then there were no chance at all it would be sold all over again today.
... Either I used only 10' or I flipped the roll and used 35'. No matter: one day I'll find out when I finish the roll, open the camera, and see whether the original spool or the K II spool has film on it.

So tell me, what makes Ektachrome particularly favourable, suited or better to Ilfochrome Classic than other E6 materials?
Quite a few of us kept our vinyl and also use compact discs, for many reasons. And more than a little of the vinyl sold today is purchased because it is "cool", and played on cheap record players that sound like sh!t, the audio equivalent of a Holga.Vinyl is selling well today not because of its inherent quality or anything like that, despite what audiophiles would say.
In a world where most people just want to listen to music — as opposed to owning a record — it magically happened that the ones who do like to own the record aren’t interested in a small and convenient shiny disc.

Album art! Some of it is fantastic!What I meant is that CD’s are as dead as vinyl. Nowadays, most people download or stream music. Vinyl never died and what killed the CD was distribution over the internet.
Now, if you want to have something on physical media, don’t you agree vinyl is way cooler than CD? CD’s are more convenient, smaller, easier to take care and they won’t wear out (from physical contact with a needle, I mean), but vinyl has all the glamour, the bigger cover and insert... and, when played on Hi-Fi gear, that really warm bass.

Take this to an audio forum. One analog vs. digital debate around here is more than enough (although the arguments are largely the same).Wrong!

Not to mention this film-centric free advertising too!We have the movie, now the magazine.

Still, the reason for the recent commercial success (for today’s standards) of the vinyl is not its alleged technical superiority.
Especially when people are playing it on decks that converts sound to digital output over USB.
You cannot dismiss the droves of audio enthusiasts that have returned to vinyl during this "revival" period because of it's more natural sound.
However, I am yet to hear any young person tell me "film is better than digital"
Maybe there's hope for the world yet!I can. I’m 16, and I much prefer film to digital. I got into shooting a few years ago, after finding a box of old Kodachrome slides in my uncle’s closet. Some of these slides are as old as the late ‘50s and (unsurprisingly) they still look gorgeous! I fell in love with the way film reproduced colors and detail, so I picked up a Canon T50 from a swap meet to see If I liked shooting film myself. I absolutely did, and here I am now! A few months ago, I stumbled across PHOTRIO (then APUG) and was overjoyed to see a community of people like myself who love film and are committed to keeping it alive. Even with all the recent discontinuations (I’m looking at you Fuji!), I definitely don’t see my self stopping anytime soon.
Get some Fujichrome and a decent Carousel projector. An incident meter helps me to get slides right, the free cell phone incident meter app works well. Get a simple E6 kit and start to process your own. Slides are magical little unique art works. I shoot 120 6x6 cm. slides and project. It like IMAX in your living room. No LED screen comes close.I can. I’m 16, and I much prefer film to digital. I got into shooting a few years ago, after finding a box of old Kodachrome slides in my uncle’s closet.

Hard to believe. Your grammar and writing seem way too good for a teenager of today. Commata in the right place, the sentences you compose, how come you to call yourself old reliable at the age of sixteen?I can. I’m 16,
