Okay, this ain't one of your "this is my 'opinion', what do you think?" topics, where people are gonna try (and definitely will) to "change my mind", this is purely a matter of physics and how "keep it simple, stupid" always holds true. Film is always, always better than digital for colour, for warmth and for the natural human feeling it evokes. This isn't a debate, this is fact (sorry if you feel that's arrogant; it's my view, hard cheese, but feel free to politely disagree, but not too loudly eh? Too many bores on the internet with loud mouths, I personally don't wanna be one OR see another one): Fact, and I don't need this to be "verified" or "confirmed", I'm just posting this link as it makes sense, and I'm not too good at describing areas I'm not working with on a daily basis, so I don't know all the terminology. Again, this is fact, as arrogant as it may sound. I don't mean that film is more convenient than digital, I mean it's aesthetically, humanly, emotionally BETTER as a medium. Period. https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2017/05/29/why-film-photography-is-better-than-digital-photography/ |

There have been several color film processes developed (no pun intended) over the decades. Not all render colors equally. In my humble opinion, Fujifilm’s Velvia 50 was the pinnacle of color film, although many people prefer the Kodachrome 25. |

What a bizarre way to troll people. If you don't have working experience in the field, why posit so many absolutes about it? Why assert that your aesthetic, human, emotional preference is "purely a matter of physics"? Simply by posting your opinion to a message board you create a debate. You can't say "this isn't a debate". I'm reminded of certain dishonest political posters (not so much here, thankfully) who like to pull the "changing the subject" card. They'll say something along the lines of "My argument is on topic, your rebutal is off topic! Stop changing the subject by disagreeing!" "Film" and "digital" (by which most people mean, chemical and solid-state photosites) have different properties and support different working methods. But I don't believe it is accurate to say that they "look" like two entirely separate things. There is quite a large degree of diversity within each technology as well as overlap between them. |

It's fine. Have your vent. I know my photography as a digital photographer with about 4 million+ photos to my name, and I know that, looking back at family photos, cine films etc, and stuff online about it, it's absolutely better than digital for realism and warmth. It's okay that you don't agree, but I do know my photos thanks. PS: What does "troll' mean? Sorry I'm out of touch. |

Period. --- End quote --- You are stating a non-falsifiable opinion regarding completely subjective matters as though it were an incontrovertible fact. Don't worry, you aren't the first. You won't be the last. However, just as an aside, unless you have your own color lab and darkroom, your film has been processed digitally for many years. |
