If film is so close to extinction as the doom and gloom prophets are so
fond of telling the consumer and amateur photographic enthusiast, why
are film companies like Ilford doing so well, selling their traditional
films and papers?
Why are photo-forums like APUG (Anologue Photography Users Group) etc
so popular?
Yes, digital is fast becoming the most popular way of taking
photographs, but film photography is far from dead and there are still
many photographers who thoroughly enjoy producing fine B&W prints on
good ol` traditional silver gelatin papers.
We`re not all hooked on using D-SLR`s, Photoshop and ink-jet printers
you know?
Digital Mono sucks.
