Testing Fujifilm's X-Half gave me a painful reminder of the reality behind the romance of film photography

Reflections on Film Photography

Testing Fujifilm's X-Half reminded me of the reality behind the romance of film photography.

I tried Fujifilm's film camera mode, which made me recall why I switched to digital photography.

When I started out, I shot with film, but as technology advanced, I found digital capture to be more convenient.

I had to get my head around the new technology pretty fast, but I kept on shooting film for quite a while.

Over time, the conveniences of digital imaging became the norm, making a return to film photography a challenge.

This was evident while reviewing Fujifilm's X-Half and its Film Camera Mode.
