i am so happy i now can home test speeds of b&w negatives.  i adapted
the method from Adams's books which told me how to find 0.1 density
point on the negative by using a lightbox and a spot meter. it's
great.

My father recently gave me several LARGE boxes filled with
slides taken from his travels all over the globe (literally)
while in the Air Force in the 1960s.  Many of them have very
interesting subjects, but they have been stored for a very long

I heard, that today there is no need anymore for traditional films
(negative or diapositve) because by postprocessing digital camera
shots(e.g. with Photoshop) everything can be done/achieved?
Is that true and is it really that simple?
