Quote: Not sure I agree with you there. Film will be around as long as there are people who love using it. Ilford are commmitted players in the analogue market. If (heaven forbid) they go under, there will be some enterprising outfit that'll continue to make these products. I'd save your pennies, get yourself a decent MF outfit (Mamiya springs to mind!), get a stack of 120 film, maybe even a bit of darkroom kit and start enjoying yourself. For gawds sake, take no notice of the doomsters; they're talking out of their ar**s!!
Oh i'd love to but its not to be. We just don't have the facilities here,or the money for a darkroom, i'd have to rely on shop processors and my experience with B/W film was not good. Too long a turnaround and too expensive,then i found XP 2 and fell in love with B/W. But now i have a digi i hardly use film,its lured of away,and thats why i partly believe those doomsters! Film is doomed,i don't see how it can possibly compete on anything other than an enthusiastic and thus expensive level. A real shame but well digi is now capable of delivering the results.
