Does anyone still use a film??

Answer 1

Sure it still has it's place! :) Digital photography is becoming the norm however and many pros have or in the process of switching over. Somethings are better done w/ film, some with digital...as technology gets more advanced in this field however, I do think that film is going to get more and more phased out. It is already becoming more expensive to develop film, and ESPECIALLY black & white. However, I do believe that they are still teaching and using film photography and dark rooms in schools.

Answer 2

I still use film. Nikon N8008s. Though it is fun, and gives me great images every time, film is getting expensive; $5 a roll, plus chemicals.

If you know what you're doing, digital can get you the same quality, and a lot more control. I find digital photography easy and quick, but film fun. That's why I carry a Nikon D50 and a N8008s.

Answer 3

I still use film. I love my elderly Minolta cameras and all the superb lenses I have for them. I will not forsake old friends for mere convenience nor do I have any desire to do so.

In a month or so I will have a darkroom set up and return to those magical moments when an image begins to appear in the developing tray. Its been a long time but I still remember how to do it.

Answer 4

resolution (number of pixels) was a limiting factor in the acceptance of digital pictures. It has now reached a level where it is acceptable for snapshots. The resolution of a 35mm camera is equivalent to more than 20 megapixels, so film is the accepted medium where the best picture quality is desired.

Answer 5

Of course. Many photographs you see in publication and enlarged for art display have been photographed using film. Most photographers prefer "chrome" images as the color is more exact and the resolution higher than what is usually achieved in digital imaging.

Answer 6

Yes i use it not much now as i use digital but yes still i use film besides kids at home use them and its a good way to learn abt photography

Answer 7

One of the advantages of still shooting on film is you can do extreme long exposures which can not be done on digital cameras because of the "noise" (white spots) you will receive. Most digital cameras can not handle a long exposure of more than a minute or two without putting "noise" in your pictures. A film camera can handle long exposures measured in hours.

Hope this helps,

film is about the look, like in painting there is water colours and oils, they have different abilities and "looks"

Answer 9

Of course! I use the best tool for the job as it's needed. I don't always use a 35mm camera either.

There are times when a medium or large format camera would be a better choice.

Always use the right tool for the job!

Answer 10

Of course they do. Not everyone is lucky enough to own or has enough money to purchase a digital camera. There are tons of people out there that still use the little disposible cameras.
