Having grown up in the 1980s and 90s, I’m old enough to have experienced the joys, challenges, and occasional heartache of analog photography. I have to confess, once I got to grips with the editing side of digital photography, I couldn't imagine going back to shooting film and have no intention of doing so despite many days, weeks, months, or probably even cumulative years spent in a darkroom.
That said, there are aspects of analog cameras that I do miss, and a couple of those are tactile manual camera controls and their manual focusing prowess. The latter, was because manual film cameras most commonly use split field focusing screens that make manual focus a breeze. Digital cameras provide manual focus, but it’s just never been quite as effective as film cameras when viewing the scene through the viewfinder. Until now.
