Yes, exactly, it gives the photo a very different look. But it seems more
apparent to me on TV, when seeing a film or something that looks somehow
strange, it often turns out to be shot with digital equipment.

People are giving me the feeling ... the industry, other photographers. To
me personally, film could go on forever. But if you're always hearing film
is dead, or almost dead, and how wonderful digital is, one starts to
believe, even if you know better.
