Well, I do use various digital cameras (Leica, Fuji, Pentax), I have an iPhone
and iPad, so I am no Luddite. I just don't see the need to upgrade according to
the manufacturer's schedule. I have my own.
As for film, I still shoot some MF black & white, and during my recent trip to
Poland I even shot a roll of 35mm HP5+ and half a roll of Tri-X. I do not
expect to ever shoot a roll of colour film again, however.
Cheers,
Nathan
