Sadly I kind of thought slide film would last longer. You really can't duplicate some of the uses for slides for high projected images at any kind of reasonable price in digital. Sure you can get a digital projector and display pretty good quality images, but a well exposed and processed 35mm slide in a fairly cheap projector will still blow away any but the most expensive digital projection system for image quality. If you only need to project slides occasionally it's a no brainer. I guess that option will soon be no more.
When I was shooting more commercial stuff, it was all slide/ transparency, but this was because it was what they wanted for production. The slide show kinda morphed over to powerpoint at the same time bosses figured out that they could hand the office bitch a cheap P&S camera. It's too bad, because not much can beat a projected slide for sheer grandeur.
The race to the bottom takes it's toll in many ways. -- William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
