As for me, with a least a dozen film camera's accumulating dust on the

As a medium, film suffers in comparison to digital in that it is less capable
of low light reproduction and when pushed, image quality drops precipitously.
The solution has always been larger formats. My best film work was generally on
6x7 or 6x6 film. Half a f a 35 mm frame has no appeal whatso

I have been using Lightroom since 2005, and it has worked well. There are
over 50,000 photos in my library. Last week I upgraded the Mac OS to Sonoma
14.1.2, and upgraded LrC to 13.1.
All hell broke loose. Since the upgrades LrC simply doesn't work: opening a
library opens only a fraction of the p

My take is this: Pentax has a history of zigging while others are
zagging.The demographic of the majority of those getting into film today
are people who have been raised knowing nothing but digital - those to whom
film is something new and different. (It's the Dr. Seuss book Star-Bellied

Rick, I'm home working on some edits. Drop me an email if you like and
I'd be glad to offer what guidance I can.

Grain is indeed part of the allure.

I was quite surprised that it is a vertical half frame, but the logic
behind that decision is that a vertical format is what the target
market is already comfortable with.
Making it a horizontal half frame would mean transporting the film from
top to bottom

In an earlier life, I used to shoot expired Tri X at 3200 and process it
in Diafine, mostly because it was cheap and simple. You don't get much
grainier than that.

Some of us still do it for the joy of doing it rather than treating it
as some sort of chore where we need to post one masterpiece per day in
Instagram.

Thanks, Doug. I’d love to “pick your brain”!
Church and a memorial service ate up today. Tomorrow is pretty clear;
mid-to-late morning or after 2 in the afternoon would be best for me.

The snowdrops bloomed yesterday. As I’ve done for many a year, I got down on
the ground — more or less — and photographed a bloom. k-1, DFA 100/2.8 macro,
f13 1/250th.
