RE: Film is not dead :-)

[Leonard Paris]

Or until film gets so expensive that all the film shooters are going to have 
to use digital in order to be sure their setup is absolutely right before 
they commit that frame of expensive film.  Kind of like what large and 
medium format shooters used to do with Polaroids.  Then, as digital 
improves, they'll just drop out of film altogether, with the exception of 
very well-heeled amateurs.

why? I cant see film "dying" until digital can
match or exceed every film application. Large
format film photography will be the last thing
for digital capture to meet. Until then, LF film
will be king of quality as it is now.

It'll happen long before that.
