Just wondering what the split of analog/digital is on this forum. I've recently returned to analogue (both spellings to please both sides of the pond and the rest of the world ) because I found I enjoy mono and darkroom work as much as the shooting of photographs. However i still have a p&S Kodak (OLD! digital which can run to A4 size at apush and I use that for shots when I want to get a reasonably competent shot in a hurry. I also scan 35mm negs and use PS as well as using 120 film. I am therefore 'bimedial' as well as multi format. I therefore do not decry digital- I enjoy the craft of B&W shot using an old Weston meter but I can appreciate that good PS work is akin to good darkroom work, and the thing that counts is the image.
I had a response to one picture where the photographer commented that they would love to be 'good enough to use film' I hear that at college classes too, along with the usual "I could have filled a 1Gb card by now' as I set up my MF for a portrait shot (I actually get on very well with that guy-we want different things, he is trying to make a living as a portrait photographer I aspire to fine art prints).
Anyway-please contribute to the poll, it may be interesting for everyone to read.
