Re: [photo-3d] Re: No more Kodachrome

["Marshall Rubin" <mrubin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hello, bob--
your thoughts were quite insightful.  i don't advocate giving up on
film-based stereography.  as your remarks indicate, there are many
advantages to film.  i only suggest that people not mire themselves in a
technology that is fading (witness the demise of kodachrome), and try using
digital as a compliment to film.
i'm most stressed when people feel compelled to hunt out those aged 50's
cameras, which only helps to perpetuate the unavailabilty of modern
equipment.  most can't plunk down thousands for an rbt, and the rest of the
stereo lot, i.e. loreos don't measure up to high standards.
if we want to convince a younger generation to embrace stereo photography,
it should be with the tools that they're ready to take hold of.
although like most veteran stereographers i'm quite skilled at using light
meters and manual camera controls, most people today want auto features, and
crave instant gratification.  that's part of where digital comes in.
give up on film? definately not!  experiment and invest in digital? YES,
YES, YES!
regards,
marshall
