Sharon,

Film will always work to a degree. I fought digital stuff forever,and didn't convert until I saw my tax expense for photo processing get to $6,400 one year.

I think that all of my images are far superior now. The color is better- the values are far better.

You don't have to go to 11 MP to do most things. Have the local guy with the 11 MP camera shoot your work, if you want.

In any case unless you have a huge large format printer to produce great big prints, it's moot. Bigger negatives have always produced spectacular results. A 2 1/4 square format is mountains above 35 mm, and no one can compete with an 8 x 10 negative.

I have heard that Kodak will stop producing B/W paper in the next couple of years. The Carousel is a thing of the past. I have had a complete darkroom for 27 years, This past year I decided that it was a dinosaur. I contacted six local high schools to find ONE that would take my donation. In the nick of time.

Any time you go to a new tech thing, it takes investing in a learning curve. I am still investing, but I am so much happier along the way.
