Default Hello from a new member

I've been a professional photographer for 20+ years supplying the advertising industry. I've run 3 studios/darkroom of my own over the years & have watched with dismay this 'advancement' in photography called digital. Trying to explain it has nothing to with file size & everything to do with the rules of optics, invariably seems to fall on deaf ears unless talking to another photographer who understands the difference between a standard lens on 35mm & on a 10x8. I don't believe Moonrise over Hernandez would have looked the same taken on a P65+ back :-((
I have to shoot digitally now for 99% of my clients - instant gratification for the art director - but still get out with my Deardorff 5x4 special for myself.

Hi and welcome to FADU from another photographer who has had to turn to digital for the work side of photography, but would much prefer to shoot film on any of my kits.
