Shock gasp, here's a write up from a magazine about how professional photographers are turning away from digital cameras back to film ...... I never went away!!
Many photographers are returning to film for medium and large format prints, claims mail-order lab Peak Imaging which has recently upgraded its film processing equipment.
Peak Imaging's managing director Wayne Gledhill told us this morning: 'They are returning to medium and large format film because of the size of print they can get, while retaining quality (20x16in and above). Many fine art, product and landscape photographers are showing signs of preference toward film.' He claimed that many photographers are returning to 120 and 5x4in film for larger format prints.
'Recent upgrades in wet processing equipment have also confirmed Peak's future commitment to the processing of E-6, C-41 and black & white film,' he continued.
How can this be a suprise to anyone who has ever shot film and digital on the same job? Don't get me wrong digital has its place for something that is needed immediately (press for example) but don't try and tell me digital and film are the same quality ...... in another 12 months maybe but not yet.
