Canon stops film on camera

[NatalieK]

well, it´s been a long time coming, yet, many professionals still use 35mm film, while Canon has stopped production & sales, although repairs are possible until 2020...

while I know digital´s the way to go, it´s a shame to see "no more film". The colours, the technique, the final image is always great to see from a professional photographer using film

shame, but its progress, unfortunately

Kodak, Fuji went off that habit years ago and so did most labs. It is like praising VHS for the unusual feel of the images..

Not really, because digital is trying more and more to mimic the look of film.

They have only stopped making the Camera, can't of been many advances to be made on them until they become digital anyways.

I recently threw out a bunch of old cameras and gear, I worked it had cost about $6k, I put a nice sign on the box.. help yourself, someone took it in 30 minutes.

Phone camera is all I use now

kerosene lamps are still used & steam locomotives are certainly still appreciated, as with vintage cars, planes and other old items at shows & events

I've wondered about the wisdom of Canon doing this: photo (and probably art) schools still teach film photography, and some students get bitten by the bug and keep doing it. And all the students who become professionals will probably have started on a Nikon film camera, and so have Nikon digital bodies as the lenses and other accessories work on both film and digital cameras. It's the same idea as Apple putting their computers in primary schools to get the kids using their products while they're young.

You're a hopeless romantic, BW . . .

I remember photography class when I was in high school... We had a full lab. It was kind of cool because we could print out huge pictures that would have a cost a lot of money back then.

Yup, take a 4K camera, wrap the lens in pantyhose and voila you"ll have the film look.

FYI: not so long ago we used to deliver movies to various countries and the contracts stated must be shot on film, (by then we used digiBetas) , so to avoid problems we exposed 100 ASA film and then in edit suite we ran an infinite dissolve over the whole film. A beautiful soft grain look.... We managed to get away with it for years. The depth of focus we "fidgeted" during the shoot by using longer lenses. So,instead of 80 mm we used 120 mm but from further distance to get the classic 80mm CU.

...and never mind how we faked a letterbox ( 1 : 85) from then 4:3....

The pantyhose goes between the lens and the sensor. You don’t put it over the lens.
