predictable enough, what with everything going digital. bit sad though.

does depend on what it is obv, but i dont like the harsh precision of digital that much, no texture there, but then thats what people want isnt it? they think its amazing.

i think it takes the feel of film away though. plus its harder to make people look good - not much glamour there. maybe ppl like seeing actors physical flaws crystal clear post-heat magazine etc, but i like seeing things nicely put together in films, even if its just peoples faces.

That's pretty cool, I've got friends who search charity shops looking for no longer made film types so that could be of interest to them.
