    I'd switch the topic to the lounge first.

    No that is not correct.

    Never. If it gets to the point that I can not buy film, I will go back to wet plate. It has taken me 70 years to learn what I know, and I am not about to chuck it now.

    I'm more likely to take up drawing than digital photography. Digital really doesn't interest me.

    Amen Jim. I am with ya. Aside from my personal preferences in the results department with analog I would rather be one of a few than among the masses of the digital band wagon. Someone has to remember how it used to be done.

    Fortunately we have a cornucopia of sheet film to chose with new ones coming into the mix as we speak.

    When I was at Glazer's Camera this weekend buying chemicals, a couple of guys had come in to purchase a Holga. Evidently they had never used a film camera before, and were on an adventure of exploration. A few weeks ago at a bus stop I met a young woman who had ditched digital for film.

    Myself, I won't ditch film for digital. I have found digital to be inadequate, and convenience can't trump inadequacy.
