● Why are film cameras popular now?

Modern digital cameras with over 40 million pixels cost around 700,000 yen.

However, medium format film (120 roll film), which is no longer produced, also has an effective resolution of about 40 million pixels. Furthermore, with the descriptive power of film and vintage lenses, you can capture photos with a unique taste and atmosphere.
35mm film also has an effective resolution of about 15 million pixels, and due to its high pixel count, it's possible to print A4 size! Developing 35mm film and converting it to CD data costs around 680 yen.
