What kodak wanted

if you’re after the kodak standard, their imaging goal, that has been bested, taken over, by Canon. That image of X, is now the imaging Canon.

you wanted sharp; you’ve got it, without grain. You wanted bright, you’ve got it, without crossover.

Digital Is Way Easier

digital is easier. it is the dominant form of taking, and making.
people have an absurdly strong desire to do things the easiest way. ever wonder, really, how hard making pasta sauce is?
how about salad dressing; or a sandwich, yet daily billions are spent on some fast food, which isn’t fast, and is barely food, not because it is fast, but because it seems easy.
digital printing is far easier than darkroom printing. easier, and faster, meaning that for some very small set, they can make a print that is better than a very skilled darkroom printer. That probably isn’t you, in either case.

you don’t have to care about what is supposed to be done, after you made enough work, and lived enough life. fads are for those still forming themselves. fashion is for those who haven’t a thought of what to, or where.
