I crossed the Rubicon yesterday and photographed a 4 hour event entirely with film.
(I had no choice really, seeing as I no longer own a digital camera.)
The Kodak Portra 400 will be delivered to the lab tomorrow.
Fingers crossed… though I’m comforted by history, and countless photographers before me who have successfully photographed critical events with the “old” medium.
The gear I used: Mamiya 7II/80mm.

80mm | f/4 | ASA 400 | 1/4 sec
If film dies.
(honestly)
—Peter.
Taken wide open @ f/2.8.
This is a test shot involving some challenging (but beautiful) light.
The gear: Mamiya 7II + 80mm, and Kodak Portra 400 film.
The “test” part is referring to not only the camera gear, but also the film scanning.
