I hate digital

[Jody_S]

"Hate" is a much misused word, I wonder if many who use it even comprehend it's meaning.

You know who understood the meaning of the word "hate"? The Nazis.

Hooray! This thread has earned its place in history. Someone invoked the Nazis.

That lends a credence unsurpassed by any other attribute imaginable. What horse$hit!

Hooray! This thread has earned its place in history. Someone invoked the Nazis.

And he did it without the apparent intent to halt the thread, and also without using it in ad hominem. Points for style!

If my middle finger was raised would that be digital?

If my middle finger was raised would that be digital?

Of course.

Most people I encounter are curious. Some even say "wow how cool is that". On the rare occasions the conversation turns to relative performace I usually say that my single sheet of film is measured in terra pixels. An exageration and technically quite incorrect but it tends to quieten the "mines got xx megapixels" brigade.

The Internet has evolved and forums like this one have been obsolete for years. Why do you think the average age is well over the AARP minimum? The search function works for crap and Google never indexes this right because of the software and mostly because people are too dumb or lazy to properly title their posts.

Can you recommend a non-obsolete forum or two ?

Yes, I know this thread is in decline and this "quote" is not only slightly off topic (but not really) and many of you have probably already seen it...here it is anyway. From an Amazon review of the Nikon F6 by R. Sawyer:

One Star out of Five - "Camera will not work with CompactFlash or other digital media cards. You must buy a cartridge of tape, which allows for just 24 shots. No LCD screen for image playback.
Extremely frustrated and returned item."

Geez, I laughed myself to tears at the "tape" comment! Such concise commentary on modern "digital" culture! I just wanted to share this for those who haven't seen it.

Oh, and I too usually just get curious, polite comments when out with the LF camera. And as others have mentioned, a peek under the dark cloth at the ground glass usually gets a smile and a nod of 'understanding'. I just ignore the ignorant comments...no point trying to explain something like LF to a moron.
