You are so right Ian we used to be very happy with our old film cameras. I have just ordered 4 rolls of FP4 film to try and see what the grain is like with a 125 ISO film, may even have to get out a tripod. All part of the joys of locked up in your own home for months. It looks sadly that Wendy and I are not going to get to our villa holiday in SW Spain booked last year (and paid for), this Sept.

I feel film grain is more 'in tune' with the image, noise is more random and adds nothing artistic.

It dosen't look good for holidays in Spain at the moment Graham. It will be intresting to see what the grain is like on the 125iso.

I wish I still had my Hasselblad kit. I found a great set up on ebay that was hugely tempting but I resisted. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hasselblad-503CW-A12-Back-CFV-50C-Digital-Back-and-3-x-Lenses-Complete-Kit/402363578366?hash=item5daebcf7fe:g:mFcAAOSwOVNfN~ve

It looks sadly that Wendy and I are not going to get to our villa holiday in SW Spain booked last year (and paid for), this Sept. It's quite a dilemma this foreign holiday issue. We have postponed our travels to France till next year. That said, a lot of caravan/motorhome owners are still going this Sept (according to the forums). Their argument is that they can self isolate just as well in their own caravan as staying at home. They can click and collect from French supermarkets (after registering) to avoid potential close contact indoors. And if their normal holiday revolves around laying in the sun with a good book, they are able to accomplish that with no concern. As many are retired the prospect of quarantine on their return isn't as a much of a deal breaker. I suppose the main concern is if you are unlucky enough to catch it...you may have to be hospitalised in a foreign land, apart from the obvious overwhelming worry about catching it in the first place! Personally, we don't see it as worth the risk. Part of holidays has always been relaxing body and soul. Not sure you can do the latter looking over your shoulder at potential virus carriers all the time. We will wait and see what happens in the rest of this year. Can you not claim back on insurance some of the costs? Or have you friends/family less vulnerable and prepared to go in your place? Seems a shame to let it go to waste.

I can fondly remember the quality of the images those cameras achieved but I have no desire to work with a 'brick' in the hand' or lug about supports anymore. The results we can achieve with DSLRs like the D850 are perfectly comparable quality. And if they are not good enough, it's ME that's letting the equipment down.

That is the reason why I did not pursue this as I feel that it is nostalgia but in reality the quality I can get from the Z7 or D850 is as good and I also have a full range of fast lenses that I can use. It is nice old engineering with a digital back. Nice but how worth it that is questionable? You also bring up the highly important aspect of size, portability and the need for a tripod, all negative aspects for me.

I like the 'free' almost unlimited rolls of film you get with digital, the histogram and the immediacy. I occasionally hanker after my Bronica S2a but not the processing delay and cost.
