The lens are inter changeable between the two cameras and supposed to do all the same things but there is something about film that is special.

It truly is the beginning of an end to an era, it being made complete when we largely forget what film even was. Though I am a web designer and avid digital photographer, I can't help but sense the price for digitizing everything will be considerable for humanity, and that computers, as wonderful as they may be, are slowly turning us into hands-on invalids, divorced from a memory of craft without keyboards. I'll still say there is nothing quite like hand-developing your images in a darkroom, or the creative pride you can feel in bumping / dodging / burning without an "undo".

I've been blessed with having a great crew that would do it for me, for a nominal fee of course. So in part, I am sort of mourning the loss of what I was never able to fully do. If that makes any sense at all.

In addition most people don't know how to adjust colors as accurately as film developers can when printing at home. So you still need professionals to get good quality photo prints if you want framed photos (unless you use the those cheesy digital frames).

When I was a kid, the guy nextdoor was a photographer. Hanging around with his son I figured that out. The guy's job was literally to go to the races. He shot in B & W because the color film of the time was too slow. He sold his photos and I guess made a living at it, I guess the clients were mainly racers, teams, sponsors, and I think sometimes a magizne.

It was fascinating, he let me watch him develop. The film rolled up, into a black bag, as he put it on a frame. Develped, stopped and fixed, the negatives were ready. He had his own enlarger in a darkroom in the basement. I was intrigued and wanted to do it as well, maybe not as a job, but a hobby.

So now I have this knowledge that is not only useless to me, but useless to everybody. Or is it ? We get better and better digital cameras, and strive for the most, smallest pixels. The pixels in film are not. They are particles. Like the change to digital music from the epitome of vinyl, do some still prefer the old way ? Many claim to be able to tell the difference, and have proven it, but others say that they possibly prefer the imperfections of the old non-digital media.

Do they even bother to make movies on real 70 mm. film anymore or is all that digital ? I wouldn't know.

T^T

Most people never had their film developed by a professional.  They dropped it off at the one hour photo and let the 19 year old run it through the machine.
