The great analog debate - - -
Minolta X-700 50mm lens: cost $10
Fujifilm 35mm 400 - $6
Digital or analog ?
The argument begins with cost.
$10 film + $15 developing = $25/roll.
$25 with 36 shots = 70 cents per click. Well, I guess that's not too bad, but not every shot is a keeper. So let's say 1 out of every 3 is good then it's cost was $2.10... Well now, that sounds bad.
Figure in the cost of a nice vintage analog camera $10 to $170 bucks vs. $300 to $1300 digital.. You sure would have to take plenty of pictures to break even. But from then on digital is all free....
An afternoon bowling, movies, amusement park, golfing would all cost $25 - so even if just one shot of the whole roll was a keeper you still had a great afternoon analog photographing for that $25...
Aesthetics: You just can't beat the buttery colors of a good analog picture. The nuances are delicious.
The muddiness on the left of this shot is indeed that - a muddy path over the leaves.
There is a deeper connection with the subject.
There is a more cerebral and concentrated approach to framing up and structuring with analog. That moment is unique.
Could a digital make boots look so good?
I'm not a 50mm shooter, but the DOF is really nice.
Starting out in photography I was told you will find your favorite lens.... I didn't understand and immediately disagreed. Well yes, you will find your lens. Mine is 28mm. A whole different way of thinking with each lens.
Your thoughts appreciated.
Have a great day friend.....
