Before one heads out and suggests that scanners are better than good macro gear its important to think of the context in which the images are going to be used. Scanners still are unable to acquire all the colours that good colour film is able to and enlargements still remain a problem in larger sizes. Its true that digital images are catching up rapidly to traditional film produced images but film still holds primacy at the moment. This in no way suggests that the techniques are any less creative or the results any less amazing but they are different and the exploration is also approached from another angle. Particularly in the field there is still nothing like good close up equipment in the hands of a skilled photographer. I also have a biase for Kodachrome in these instances too.
