This current thread reminds me of the CD versus Vinyl debate in the mid
1980s. You can still buy new vinyl albums if you really try, but it is
very much a diehard specialist field now. In the end, CDs won, despite
inferior sound quality, because that's what the big boys wanted;-)
I don't know much about digital photography, but does the 'mass market'
really download their pics to a pc or mac and then manipulate and print?
Surely that's more of a hobbyist activity? Or do they take the 'memory' to
a processor or what? I've scanned one or two prints into my PC and printed
them but I have been very disappointed with the results. There seems to be
some cross-calibration required between scanner/screen/printer and I would
have thought that similar would be required between a digicamera and
printer. Yes? No? Is this really a mass market activity?
BTW beautiful eclipse last night, clear sky, orange-red moon - tried a few
shots with the OM4Ti and Tamron SP 500 f8 mirror on Fuji slide film,
exposures of 5/10/15/20/25/60 secs. have to wait now to finish the roll.
