Digital vs. film in the real world

[BJL]

As for digital capture causing sloppiness; see your psychotherapist.  Don't blame it on the technology.

Indeed; this argument comes up over and over again as a supposed advantage of not having auto-focus, automated exposure or whatever new technological option the author does not like.

Friends will vouch for the fact that my evolution from a Pentax K-1000 through successively more automated cameras to my current Olympus E-1 has not much reduced my tendency to frustrate them by spending many minutes to take a single photograph.

These film vs digital threads that keep coming up now and then are about like arguments about whether the Earth is really round or maybe flat after all.  I'll leave it as an exercise for the student to figure out which side of the film vs digital issue is more like the "Flat Earther" side of the Earth shape issue.  I don't know how many more times I'm apt to even click on anything related to this long resolved and dead issue.  I guess it's fun now and then to bash such an easy to bash position.  Kinda like accomodating someone with a sign on his butt saying "Kick Me".

Well, it's raining and/or cold outside, so maybe we get a little less fussy about what's worth typing about for a few minutes.
