With all due respect I disagree with this statement. My wife and I shot medium format film for many years on Hassleblad cameras and, more recently, Pentax 645's. It took us a long time to want to take the plung to digital. The first year of the switchover we actually shot both to ensure that the customer was getting the best of both worlds. However, besides the fact that that was too time consuming, it became redundant. The quality of images we get from our digital SLR's are easily comparable now to the medium format film we were shooting and are simply much much easier to manipulate. We also own a high end negative scanner and you do lose some quality in the translation to screen. To each their own. I know that there still are people out there like yourself that swear by film. We were one of those people. Not now. Digital is the way now.
