@maxpin63 Digital is a dead medium?? I think you mean digital is the next medium... True it is sad to see film go, but thankfully there are guys like Anthony here that are keeping film alive... If you don't have at least one digital camera in your arsenal I think you're behind the times...

No I really do have a interest it this way of taking photographs, my dad had a dark room and I would watch him develop photo's. I dislike digital just bores me unlike this.
