Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to print through those sensors properly with my darkroom enlarger, perhaps someday I'll figure that one out

Apparently Sebastiao Salgado does it. Creates a printed negative from a digital camera file and then makes silver prints with the negative. Not that I would recommend such a practice.

I was kidding about that, of anyone I would learn from SandyKing who does that all the time for his Carbon Prints.

You're as bad as my good friend, Harold. He asked my why I didn't buy a 35mm Leica instead.

The X100s also has a close up feature and live view on the back of the camera. It makes Ebay shots of small items a breeze. I use it a lot for Ebay and family snap shots. I have family in Chicago and San Jose, CA. My wife likes to email family photos or post the images on her Facebook.

Anything artistic, I'll grab the big film camera!

I can use my iPhone camera for eBay sales, and my 5DmkII for my fancy digital work, don't worry I'm not a luddite, but for the purposes of using a RF type mirrorless camera, I want film for artistic reasons. Hence the comment

My daughter has an iphone and loves it. I haven't charged my cheap flip phone in over 6 months. I don't like being 24 hour accessible. Maybe I'm the luddite?
