Actually, the real winners are those still using film. Good gear has never
been cheaper! Particularly medium and large format gear. Buying it for 1/10
of retail value is a sweet deal, and I hope it continues into the future!
And the films of today, while not as wide in variety (and notably lacking
things like Tech Pan and HIE, and EIR), are as good or better than most of
what we had back in the heyday. Stuff like Ektar 100, Portra 400, velvia,
etc.
> The fact is, though, that for all practical purposes, digital has "won".
