With an intellect and a savoir faire
The Perfecting Equilibrium Digest, October 2-8, 2024
All seven and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love and we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir faire
No one in the whole universe will ever compare

The State Of Film in 2024
Old familiar film, new emulsions, crazy industrial stocks-its a wild world

Imagine being able to change out your sensor anytime you please.
For digital cameras that’s just science fiction, of course. If your camera has a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor when you buy it, that’s the sensor it will have every day until it dies.
But it’s reality if you’re shooting film. Want a Pentax 17 Monochrome today? Load it with Kodak Tri-X black and white film. Want punchy color tomorrow? Load your 17 with Legacy's Stay Positive 100 slide film. Want that old time color palette after that? Feed a roll of Wolfen NC 500 "Warm" into your camera.
Indeed the biggest shock, whether you are new to film or returning after a hiatus, is the vast and bewildering array of options available to film photographers in 2024.
