yo carty, i'm curious what you think about digital technology at the moment. all these digital fanatics say how a good 6 megapixel "rivals" 35mm film. personally, i think that's BS. i use a 5400 dpi film scanner and although the grain is very visible, when scaled down to the size of a 6mp, it isn't grainy. when you scale a 6mp up to the size of a 5400 dpi scan of some good low ISO film, there's no way that can compare. what do you think about the 10mp canon? think that can rival film in terms of quality in large prints (20x30")? then there's those techy reports that say film can achieve 40+ megapixels, but those don't seem to take into account the grain. i'm thinking that waiting until 18-20 megapixels are in the price range of the 10 megapixels is when i should invest in digital. i also have a 6x7 pentax, so maybe waiting for a 20mp digital back in that price range would be best? although i don't know if lugging that baby around all day is the best idea. what are your thoughts?
you're a kickass photographer man. i love your work
