Why is T-Max so expensive in Canada?

I'm just a bit confused by this remark from a couple of years ago.

What did you mean by "digital" pictures? Isn't that a film camera?

I think in that post I meant that digitalising (scanning) the negatives exposed in a film camera gives me a digital image that I vastly prefer to those I was obtaining back when I was doing digital photography with a DSLR.

The context if I remember correctly was someone asking the usual "why bother with film photography and film cameras if you're going to end up with a file anyway?" Or something along those lines.

Probably meant scanning negs and maybe digital printing the results. Just a guess????

Whoops! Must have been punching keys at the same time.

Actually, you were responding to me, and that is not what I was saying.

I'm still wondering why eyeglasses cost as much as a high-quality camera lens?

because people have no choice;they must buy them, and often enough medical nsurancewill pay a portion of it.

Ah sorry Don, I'm on my phone and didn't scroll back to check, feel free to amend.

The best option for most people is actually the cheapest plastic, CR-39 as it's optical quality is about the same as crown glass. The more expensive high index options are perhaps thinner but they have much lower Abbe number which means more chromatic aberration. I wouldn't pay more for less optical quality.

Thanks for taking the time to elaborate. It's clear now.

the so-called 'Film Simulations' in my Fujifilm X-T20 mirrorless camera, which quite frankly sucked

Does it suck on its own or when compared to real film?

Most people seem to go bananas over the film sims, so it's invaluable to read a different point of view. I've never tried it myself, but I came very close to buying a Fujifilm X series camera to feel the magic.
