Dear Bill,Here's a nice surprise from Kodak. They conducted a survey of photogrpahers in Europe and found most prefer film. !

Interesting article. Now if only the consumers figured this out....
The problem is...
Pros prefer film....
... but still end up having to shoot digital because the customer wants the pictures done by tomorrow.

Tomorrow?
That's two days later than the average client wanted things when I was working in advertising.
As one once said to me, "No, I want it yesterday. If I wanted it today, I'd ask for it tomorrow."
Cheers,

I confess I've never understood the speed argument for digital. I can shoot film, process and dry and scan it in a matter of a few hours. A digital capture will require some manipulation in photoshop. Okay, the digital guy will beat me by a couple of hours, but is that relevant? To a photojournalist, maybe, but otherwise I don't get it. Sanders
Yes - preferring film is one thing. Using it is another.
I know lots of people who prefer manual transmissions in their car, and all of them except for me have automatics.
"Photography" has so many shades of meaning. Do I really need to slave over an enlarger to be able to enjoy a couple hundred holiday snaps...or to wait for them to come back from the lab?
