RE: filmscanners: real value?
It's really crazy, but here in Georgia, they keep building movie theaters,
and they keep closing them!
As far as the future of 35mm film is considered, have you ever seen some of
those shots from film based spy sats, surely some more of this technology
will trickle down and cause greater advances in film performance. I still
use manual focus SLR equipment, as I'm worried about digital taking over,
but did look today at Nikon F5, and could use the lenses on a Nikon D2 (or
3) 9 megapixel camera of the future.
