Film is DEAD!, Dead, I tell you, like collodion

[Murph]

Yep film is dead, just like collodion. Oh, no! View Camera magazine says collodion is making a come back! Does that mean film is going to have a resurgence?

[richardsfault]

I'm sure many are feeling mixed emulsions.

I honestly don't think film is dead. Yes there is a huge craze for digital but I don't think film will die out.

Now I know that polaroid die out and anything can happen but this is the one true form that began it all.

I love film. I miss film. I hope it never dies.

Dead film? Yep. All of my film is dead. That's why I keep my film in the freezer.

What happened to Polaroid was a dirty rotten shame. Another classic example of a corporate crook running a good company in the ground.

The good news is that we can always make our own. Silver based photography is simple, easy & cheap. The same materials that worked in the 19th century still work today. Heck, the cameras and lenses are still working today.

It's all good!

If you miss it, do it!

I am having a negative reaction to all the talk about film being dead. I can't picture life without film.

[srwatters]

Let's not be transparent on this issue. I can't let all this negativity slide without a comment.

I need to get some of this new Ektar in 120...

[djroga]

I just want my comments framed in the right context.

[srwatters]

I just ordered 15 rolls of dead stuff from B&H.

Ektar 100, Astia 100, & T-Max 100. Yummy!

Perhaps we should not panic, rather see what develops......

[photonewb]

if anything, the puns are gonna kill us all

[toverman]

I'm reeling over this discussion. Hope something good develops! Oh, someday our prints will come.

Edited: Didn't see until now that one of my puns was already taken. I guess I'll let that one slide.

[Bruce M. Morris]

you dont think they are well developed? I am sure that can be fixed.

[djroga]

Could all of this be PUNishment for not using film?

[toverman]

I think we're all just on a roll.
