I dunno why these film v digi threads even begin, apples v oranges.
Don't start the apple/orange fruit debate, Brian will no doubt go off on a tangerine.

This thread is going bananas!In nearly all circumstances I would not advice this, but in this thread, I think Brian going off on a tangerine would be grape.
Would you go as far as to say they're large format holes?

As the saying goes: "it takes two to tango". What I see here is a mixture of people who "know" they're right and assume an air of superiority which is calculated to anger the people who hold different opinions. As I see it, if you want to use film, be it in a Minox or a Gandolfi: go for it. If you want to use digital: the same.
There are discussions to be had and lessons that each can take from the other but only if everyone starts from respecting the other person's choices. There is no right or wrong in photography, just what works for each of us.
Quite. Why some individuals have decided to get a bee in their bonnet about imagined slights, I have no idea. Regardless of format, ALL photography is valid. The 'phone snappers taking pics of famous landmarks, or sunsets, landscapes etc, have those pioneers who toiled with their large format cams, glass plates etc, to create the genres that inspire us today, and we have a lot to learn about the cultural and social values of 'selfies' by teenage kids etc. I had hoped posting up some comments by Don McCullin, regarding the notion of 'truth' in analogue and digital photographs, might spark some interesting discourse. Instead, it appears some still have sour grapes over things that were unsaid.
erm what about Thomas Heaton saying "I find nothing helps with composition more than a sqaure frame".
Now ... about that chalk and cheese
Besides Tri-X or TMax?
Or probably very long, if you have!You've never lived till you've used mercury vapour as a developer....

REAL men use wet plate; REAL HARD men use Daguerrotype. You've never lived till you've used mercury vapour as a developer....
Nothing is, indeed, better than a square frame.
And softies use Di...... oh never mind [emoji23]
