I got started on digital. When I switched to film (particularly slide film) everyone kept saying how much I was improving. It's like magic indeed.
The instability of digital is a big one for me. There is no worse feeling than opening a folder of 15-20 year old files that got corrupted at some point. A scratched negative is easy to fix, a corrupted file can be a complete loss. The biggest risk of loss with film is before developing, but properly stored negatives are a great insurance policy to the instability of digital media.
Anybody want an old Cannon FTB? I bought it Japan when I was in the service in the 70's.
Well great… I have 3 vintage cameras I was waiting to sell for more than $25 a piece…. Literally all I could get these past 10 years. Can’t believe someone would only pay $25 for 70 year old cameras you have to look down into to see a projected image from the lens.. crazy
There's something about shooting in 35mm that digital cannot replace! I'm so glad to hear film is making a comeback. Now, if I can find someone to repair my Ricoh xrm body, I'll have it made in the shade!
hαven't thought one day I could see the king sucker of ektarchrome, aka 50 shades of Jason himself in NBC lmfao
You could… just buy a vintage one.
I can see the appeal in owning your own images rather than storing it on some cloud that could disappear or some device you could lose.
Exactly
Hipster trends
Rediscovered some old photo albums my grandma had, looked through them and felt a bit sad that there weren’t anymore.
Went got myself a polaroid camera and now I’m starting my own photo albums 😊

This happens every decade or so now. Always makes me laugh.
I like this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🎵Whaaaat would you dooo, if I saaang out of tune…would you stand up and walk out on me?🎵
Buncha posers with their polaroids & disposables… smh… couldnt pick up a dslr and take quality shots like a real photographer – oh wait ya they could they'd just use autofocus
#filmisnotdead
Wow!!!! They brought it back! Time to take pictures again in 1970s style!
Ugh
"Developing trend" lmao I see what they did there
This entire segment shot on 8mm film is really a trip.
I had to sell my medium format equipment bc everything was becoming digital. I don't know how I feel about it. Keeping up with the tech is one of the hardest thing about video and photography. The film cameras of the past was easy to learn, the trick was the lighting, there was tweaking as you go as with digital.
A trend for a 2nd time this happened in the mid 80s.
