I know people shooting film with 1940s Eyemos and 1930s Mitchells. Wonder where all those digital Genesis and Origins will be in five years. Maybe Ebay.
I agree here as well. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting really sick and tired of all this digital snarkiness. I'm also waiting for the day when a modern digital video camera-- and face it, that's what it is, video -- will physically last as long as the most average Super 8 or 16 one, let alone 35mm. And when they don't-- which they won't-- will their discardability and obsolescence then be seen as a philosophical virtue? Probably.
