Re: Article in Shutterbug
Steve, I wouldn't be shocked to see film usage drop quickly. As to processing services, tougher call. The newer printing machines are equally adept at taking film (they actually scan it at high speed) or digital. The cost/process is the same. The only difference for the film is that it has to go through the film processor first. Currently, that costs me $2.29 per roll above the cost of the prints. I would guess that it stays like that for some time to come. The labs that don't already have the digital printers will need new equipment, but that is already on the market. I wonder if the price of film, rather than the processing won't rise quicker.

That doesn't surprise me, however, I think that won't happen in the next five years, and probably far closer to that 10 year window. The difference, though, is people who are pro or amatuer or what it may be we all are, know where to find the pro labs that won't go away, and that people like us tend to shoot B&W and can process in our homes, and even home development of E6 isn't that difficult, if you've got a processor which is cheap enough. I doubt films disappearance will hurt the likes of us as much as some people fear. -g. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.

I was looking through the most recent issue of Shutterbug and they have an article where staffers were making predications about the next ten years. One of the interesting ( and universal) predictions is that film will not go away but it's use will drop off quicker than most people think and that processing services will become more rare or at least more expensive. Does anyone see this. I realize that many of us don't want to switch, but I asking for predications not preferences.

RE: x3 chip article in Shutterbug
I just read shutterbug cover to cover. Basically the issue is DIGITAL DIGITAL DIGITAL. I wonder how long before all film cameras are obsolete like 8mm movie cameras? I sure wish i had bought my P67 sooner, seems like i missed the golden years of film already. Question: are there adapters to mount M42 lenses on Nikon or Canon EOS bodies?? I have 30 different screwmount lenses and if pentax doesnt come out with a digital body soon, I may go elsewhere for the body... JCO - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

x3 chip article in Shutterbug
Hi Gang; The April edition of Shutterbug magazine has an article on the new Foveon chip. It explains a bit of the theory behind the technology. It doesn't mention anything about Sigma having an exclusive license for the chip, but does, in a separate article test 2 sigma ultra-wide zooms.
