[alt-photo] Re: new digital sensor

[Diana Bloomfield]

Well, I have a Mamiya 6, and every time I use it, I am consistently  
impressed with what an incredible camera it is.  I don't think they  
missed a trick in the making of it.  It just seems to have  
everything.  I'd be happy to use that until the end of time-- as long  
as somebody keeps making 120 film.

I do hate that digital cameras seem to be like cars-- as soon as you  
remove them from the store (or drive them off the lot),  already  
they're out-of-date and beginning their rapid depreciation, it seems.   
I use my digital camera, most especially for paid jobs, because it's  
quicker and there's no CYA or guesswork-- but I have to admit, I still  
love those film cameras.  As long as people keep making film, they can  
do whatever they want to make us want, or need, the next best thing  
(and spend yet more money).
