  1. As a stubborn nerd I resisted the trasition to digital for over a decade. I was the "target consumer" that truly believed that digital did not have the quality of film. I shot whole rolls of 36 with the certainty that only 4, maybe 5, images would be good enough to print. The wait for developing, the contact sheet. The interaction with the lab guys to get the prints as "just" as I wanted them... was part of the hobby. I loved the grain in the enlarged photos, using a magnifying glass to find the grain when I could not see it. Planning ahead with fast film for night outings. I hauled around my SLR above my head while walking into a flooded cave. The confused looks I got from friends and family when I was geeking with exposure lock or manual focus. Fun times. Having said *that*. When digital became "good enough" I switched. I still have my lenses and film camera, but they are now part of someone that is not today's me. Solid content.
