Re: Dark Rooms
Hmmmm!, I still think the two technologies should be complimentary!
If I had a concern (which I do) it would be the longevity of storage media.
I have a number of cd/dvd's that have data on, some or all of which I cannot recover.
Yes it's a chore sloshing around up to your arse in E6 chemistry or having to fill out mailers for your slides but...
I have recently started scanning my slide collection and what suprises me the most is, they look as good as the day I first viewed them, some of which are in excess of 30 years old.
I am not convinced the technology will be around to read cd/dvd's in the next 20 years and that will be a loss to me and my children/grandchildren.
I have no problem with digital in any of its forms and do enjoy the processes as much as the next man, I just do the important stuff on film.
Remember, hold a slide to the light and you see an image, hold a dvd to the light and you see a hole.
