Heinrich Kühn 

OTOH.. back when film was expensive and a somewhat current camera was out of reach for a kid like me who grew up working class poor in the 1980s.. modern day tools are cheap and accessible: an 8 year old laptop and $200 used digital camera can do things that I couldn't have done with a rented (high end for its time) SLR and full dark room facilities back in college.. Just because you didn't have to mow lawns or work in a tire shop to afford the limited toolset available back when I was 19, doesn't mean that the work you produce on your iPad is any less relevant for its time, which is today. Technology has greatly democratized the photographic hobby, for good or bad. I can still recall shots that I could have easily made with what I have today versus what I didn't have then-and if I were 19 today I could afford the modern day tools to do so!

i think its just the opposite. when i was a kid, i dreamed about 35mm nikons that where WAY out of reach for me. 30 years later, i own a hasselblad, a Nikon F3, a bronica ETRSi for everyday use and for all of this i paid less than for a prosumer DSLR. I think we are in glorious times :)

@@lisaw150 My Fuji cameras get frequent "Ooh, is that a film camera?" comments. Especially the leather case clad X-E1 with a smaller lens, looks to the untrained eye like a film Leica. Still though, point taken. No one mistakes a Sony for a film camera.

@@Bolton115 On the other hand:film is expensive again.

@@mjoelnir58 It isn't the film which is expensive, it's the scanning into digital. Especially with medium format-it's a joy to shoot, fun to develop, but time consuming or expensive to get it scanned.

AuthenticSound Thanks Wim!

Mark Donohue Beautiful stuff! Would have been right after Kühn - love it!

Brian Richman yeah not a fan of Amazon for used books. Powells and Ebay might be a better bet. Dude - you're in Dallas - keep an eye out at Half Price Books or Recycled up in Denton.

NOOOOOO!!!!!! Not *IN* the actual bookstores themselves. My credit card is badly bent out of shape as it is!!! I'd be bankrupt in 10 minutes... "Must get this one", "Only one more", "Is THAT all it costs?", "How much?", "I can just afford that last book". This is the path to ruin!

Brian Richman Yeah - beware of the "Law of Used Bookstores". It states 1) If you're looking for something you won't find anything and 2) If you're just browsing you'll be broke by the time you leave. ;-)

And now it is about 150 to 200 euros.And not only at amazon, everywhere.

Nicholas Berardo i really liked the background information

Well.. No
