>>4016498Me too. That and carrying heavier equipment and simply no being able to get many kinds of shots I would like to get. It was fine for landscape etc to some extent and fixed posed portraits, but not a lot else. Now I got room to carry other stuff and still be lighter than my film setup. People also only liked the photos for the film and not the photo and the most interesting part to other people was what film it was shot on, processing etc. same shit I see in film groups with some lame ass photo of a supermarket parking lot or brick. Shooting film and digi at the same time is interesting, I literally got something like
>wow! It’s a shame this wasn’t shot on film, this would be such a good shotI also noticed after ditching it that before I ditched it, I would go out far less or avoid going out to take photos a lot because I would “have” to take the RB67 with me. I didn’t want to deal with it, as it’s a much bigger ordeal. What’s supposed to be more fun, ended up significantly less. Led to higher depression. Happened while I was living overseas too and it sucked.
I also noticed in a group someone posted medium format shots of Astro stuff on a tracker, something I wanted to do ages ago, really nice Astro shots. But again, the biggest deal wasn’t the photos themselves but that it was shot on film, cue people gushing about the film itself and their imaginary perception of the types of colours it produces.
FYI: I did my own colour processing, inc E6, did b&w reversal on my recipe among things.
