The Big Question
I have both Film and Digital cameras. I started photographing with film cameras a lot more recently, I have a Canon Ae-1 film camera and a Canon Underwater film camera and a Nikon d5500 DSLR camera...
They are all really nice and take great photos but I'd like to know what other photographers think about them both and what they prefer for what reasons.
Do you like having hard negatives at hand or do you prefer the digital versions?
I like having digital, it makes it more convenient for online purposes. I love the feeling of negatives though, shining them in the light, its like the truest form of photography, its nostalgic, to me at least. What do you think??
Is it worth more to you to have it on a negative knowing that it costs more than to keep it on a SD card or external hard drive?
As Cain would say, its not worth it. When we go play in the water I bring the underwater film camera since my other digital one went through the wash & dryer without surviving, and all he can think is $$$ how much it cost to buy the film and then pay for its development.. He's not the only one who thinks about the money, but I feel like I spend the time to make quality photographs that 10 bucks to get it developed isn't so hefty. How do you feel about the costs?
If you prefer film, do you develop your own COLOR and Black & White film?
I've been highly considering doing this myself to cut costs. If you do, how much money does it cost to start up? And if you could tell me after starting costs how much a single roll of film costs you to development?
I feel like film vs digital can be a very opinionated topic, I don't mind opinions but I do prefer them based on factual logical reaosonings.
Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks! <3
