Re: anybody still shoot film?

[P. J. Alling]

Assuming that someone still makes a semi-professional/home film scanner, 
let alone a commercial grade one.

I shoot a variety of film.  My two SuperProgram's are using Delta 400 
now, my RB67 uses a mix of FP4+ and Delta 100, and for Macro work 
(Pentax auto bellows) I'm starting to use Pan F+.

I'm also investing in a film scanner soon, and I don't think I'll ever 
go the DSLR route.  Why?  If I shoot film today, and scan it in a 2700 
DPI scanner, five years from now when I can afford a 5000 DPI scanner 
I can *rescan at 5000 DPI*.  If I shoot digital today at 6.2 MP, five 
years from now when I can afford a 12 MP DSLR, I can't reshoot the 
photos I've already shot at 6.2 MP.

Film makes sense; it provides a nice baseline against the 
ever-changing landscape of digital darkroom technologies. :)
