Default Re: Is film really so out of favor?

A possible suggestion: I recently gave my Yashica with three lenses to a high school student who was taking film photography for the 'art' requirement. The school separates film and digital classes and from what I have been able to tell may be a bit slow in recognizing that digital is different from the 1 meg days and you do not have to Photoshop gimmicks in every shot to hide the fact it was digital. You might contact the local high school and find a free-to-good home recipient.

I still have my Contax body and lenses (same mount) which I suspect will go the same route in a few years as demand for even better 35mm's wanes. When I first started with film, some people still insisted on using glass plates so there will always be some who prefer film. Will digital advances of the next decade make me give away the 4x5? Probably.
