I can't be the only person who recalls the bad old days when you sent off your roll of 36 to Boots, waited several days, paid your big mazumas, only to get back your set of snaps to find that only one or two were any good... If you sent off the negs for reprints (more big mazumas, especially if you wanted enlargements or cropping) you were lucky if the technician hadn't added a bit of bumfluff to the negs to ruin your snaps via speckles or hairy streaks...When affordable digitals first came out the pictures had a sort of weirdly clinical and artificial quality about them. So much better now, and you can delete, try again, take ten in a row, choose the best and delete the rest, do your own editing, get 'em up on the Cloud in no time, send 'em to your beloveds straight away...

Film? Those weren't the days!
