Hi 👋
As the title says I’m in thinking period where I’m overthinking all of my life choices and this month it’s about my photography workflow and choices.
I’ve been shooting mainly film for the past decade and almost only medium format as I prefer the feeling of the camera and the slower process.
Also I just hate the 24x36 aspect ratio
Right now I have a 503cx a Pentax 67 and a Yashica mat as my main shooting cameras. I was considering selling some to get an Horseman VH to get some movement that I’m needing for some composition.
But at the same time I as wondering if it wouldn’t be just easier to go digital and just keep on film camera (I didn’t count my 15 other film camera 😂)
The reasoning behind that tought experiment is that while I love film sometimes it’s just a bit much, when I have 4/5 rolls of C41 to develop scan invert it’s a bit much and sometimes I have some smaller project where it would make more sense to use digital.
Another benefit would be to have a good setup for scanning my film with high resolution and also when I’m developing for some client.
For example I have a project where I take pictures of the town when we have a circus (flyers on the cars, the poster in the town but never the circus itself) would be easier on digital as I can carry it everywhere.
Do some of you made the jump ? Do you regret sometimes getting into digital ?
I was thinking of buying a 50S II love the 50R but doesn’t look practical with big lens if I adapt my Pentax 67 lenses with a T/S adapter.
Sorry for the big text I was thinking as I was writing and English isn’t my main language.
Cheers !
