Great news for Flickr users!..
hate it with every single fibre of my being... unbelievably slow too. anyone any idea how easy it would be to move over a huge amount of photos to an alternate (assuming theres one I like) and still keeping them in the sets they are in ? (I have over 300 sets and god knows how many phots - think...

Going back to film (I think?)
Hi All, I've been slowly increasing the amount of film I'm shooting (from zero a couple of months ago to a few films a month now) and nearly made the decision last night sell off my K-5 & DA lenses (moderated today to shooting film exclusively for a while - apart from the MX-1). This has been ...

At some point companies will stop making film, it's inevitable. So yes!

I'm lucky to have a comprehensive collection of film gear which makes this an easy change for me to make and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. Is this crazy in today's digital world? John. Not at all. It's a conscious decision that you make. Others that disagree have their reasons of ...

Film is just great. FF goodness on a shoestring. Wouldn't want to go without the convenience of digital as well though.

No it's not crazy at all. Frankly I WISH I had the willpower for film. I've got 4 Pentax 35mm SLRs, SF1, SFX, ES and Super A. I really oughta shoot some film again. I don't agree you lose you 'eye' with digital allowing you to shoot a lot more images, but a roll of 36 does makes you consider...

"have given up the eye for a good image" in the context that could be due to various reasons. It was not meant to mean “lost or lose”. Best regards

I shoot some film but could not imagine giving up digital, it seems a rather Luddite approach to the problem of digital allowing you to shoot so many more images. Why not stick a 512mb card in your camera, and don't take a spare, every time you go out with your camera? Then you will be forced to thi...

2) I'm shooting too many digital shots, the good ones are getting lost in a maelstrom of mediocre ones I completely agree with that thought. It is too easy to take a lot of shots nowadays - not just because digital is so easy and cheap, but with auto focus as well, which makes 'grabbing' a shot so...

Unlike many here, I started with digital and have now moved to film. I find I enjoy it more and more and have bought 35mm cameras, now medium format cameras, a scanner, B&W developing kit.... I found that I have the same problem with digital - too many shots and not enough quality. I need to sl...

Definitely keep shooting film. Whether you get rid of the digital body is (obviously) a personal choice. I wouldn't - I like photography in general, so the more tools I can go out and play with, the better for my enjoyment. This means I'd never get rid of the digital stuff in the same way that I'd n...

I could not imagine giving up digital or film - for me they both have their place and I learn from both disciplines. I understand what you say about taking too many photos and I suspect we all go through that phase with digital I know that during the first couple of years I used digital - I would...

I've neglected the digital over the last year, more or less only using film. There is a look with cheap film and expensive film that is unique. However I am probably going to concentrate on getting my skills with the DSLRs up for a while. Digital has the convenience factor and ability to see immedia...

Going back to film (I think?)
I started with film, my photography was re-invigorated when I bought my K10D, and now I largely shoot film (for fun) and digital (for work, ebay, etc.). I wouldn't go film only, though. For example, tonight I am going to an event in a vault under the A1M (honestly!) and I want to take photos. B...

But 'Smeggypants' has a perfectly valid point too, in that the ability to easily and cheaply fire off impulse shots can yield some gems as well. I am trying to slow down and consider each shot more, but I have to say I not successfully enough at the moment. I often take around 200 shots if I'm ou...

Interesting comments. The purpose of selling my digital stuff would have been to fund a possible 645Nii or more likely a 67, using a mixture of 35mm and my MX-1 for 'everyday' shooting. My maximum so far is about 250 shots in a day (action photos) resulting in about 20 keepers. I realised I've so...

I've been editing a lot of old 35mm neg scans I took in 1980s recently. There's definitely a character you don't get with digital. I suppose it's kinda like the difference between music recorded on Analog versus music recorded on Digital. This would be one good reason to shoot on film rather ...

This would be one good reason to shoot on film rather than doing it for some self flagellation on restricting the number of shots you take in a day :) Thanks for the insight Smeggy, there was me thinking the three foot strop that came with my K-5 was to stop me dropping the camera, now I understand ...

Pentax Price Increase?
I just checked out the Jessops site and they appear to have increased the price of the Pentax K5 II two lens package (which includes the 18-55 and 50-200 kit lens) since the 11th May by £100 to £959.99 (less £70 cash-back until 27th July). I can't say for sure, but it looks like other Pentax prod...
