GRD II, f2.4, 1/100, ISO 80, RAW 1:1Ok, the GR1 week is over and now I have to wait for the film to be developed. This should hopefully be done by Friday. This is really a pain and the reason I will not use film again in the near future. While I really enjoyed the week with the GR1, it is a fantastic camera to use afterall, the drawbacks of film are just too much to make it worthwile. The quality is not better either, on the contrary, it is worse, unless you pay extra for your prints or print big.
Since I've used the GRD I a lot recently, I decided to use the GRD II for a while now.
The weather finally got better an we had some sunshine. Makes for a much more pleasing experience to go out and take pictures if it's not dark and raining. So I used my lunch today to go out for a walk and take some pictures.
You sound exactly as I do regarding film. Compared with our digital experience, film, while still romantic, is a hassle...trying to get it to a lab is a nightmare and then when you do, it takes 3 weeks to process! Guess we're stuck with digital. :)
ReplyDeleteJames, I think most people will acknowledge that digital is much more convenient and no matter what the advantages of film, it is usually not worth the hassle.
ReplyDeleteThe processing time takes too long and you have to worry about them losing your film in the process.
I am glad we're stuck with digital and have the choice.
