Photographer: Gillian Laub for BloombergA $6,895 Digital Camera That Even Analog Photographers Can’t Put Down
I have been using the same film camera for 15 years: a Mamiya RZ67, which I’ve used to shoot most of my commissioned work, as well as the pictures that ended up in my two monographs, Testimony and Southern Rites.
In the past few years, though, as my favorite 220 film made by Fuji and Kodak has been discontinued, I have reluctantly started using a couple of digital cameras: the Pentax 645Z, a medium-format digital camera that has a sensor size and image output that mimics the quality of film; and the Canon 5D Mark 111, which has the ability to switch between moving and still image. Although I often romanticize film and still believe that no digital file will ever truly compare to a film negative, these two cameras expand my arsenal of photography tools, and I have slowly come around to appreciate the latitude that these digital cameras give me.
