I’m ashamed to say I think I’m in love with my old film cam­era! There is just some­thing very grat­i­fy­ing about being able to pick up a cam­era that uses no bat­ter­ies and requires you to think before you push the shut­ter release. Even bet­ter, the same cam­era I enjoy so much has a bet­ter “res­o­lu­tion” than most con­sumer grade DSLRs on the mar­ket today push­ing more than 200 megapix­els with a high qual­ity drum scanner.

I’m not ques­tion­ing the fact that dig­i­tal pho­tog­ra­phy has sur­passed film as the stan­dard today, but it has a long way to go before it can pass film in qual­ity. I also appre­ci­ate the work­out I get when using my 7.5 pound man­ual focus cam­era! Does it come as any sur­prise to you that I enjoy my 30+ year old cam­era more than my Canon 40D?
