    crap, almost forgot..
    i had a last minute photoshoot of some furniture and we wnt to a neighbor that is a digital shop mostly. but we wanted film cause its what we always done.
    the shoot turned out to be a 3 hour sales pitch on digi
    i got my film but they shot the same shots with a digi back on one shot.
    the highlights were way harsh on the digi shots, but more even on my film (i had them drum scanned) but the camera wasnt a hasselblad.
    im way on the fence on this.
    the only thing i can say for sure is, my go to photographers still show me polaroids and give me film.
    yeah, getting the film scanned is an extra step and expense but the reassured quality is worth it

    oh shit, here's another weird argument. say you go digital and save the polaroid and scanning costs..
    so you are at your shoot and your photographer shows you the proof on screen, can you trust it?
    i mean its their screen, hows the screen callibrated? it varies
    where as a polaroid does not. it is what it is.
    if that makes sense
