Kindred spirit…

Game-changing for me was regarding the linear image, with only black-subtract, as-shot white balance and demosaic. The starting point.

This is so true. Look at the work of Ansell Adams and you would see how important the final processing of the image was and not just the capture.

I kept a few film cameras for that exact purpose. When I get the analog itch, I shoot a roll of film, and after the hassle of having sourced the film, developing it, and realizing how many of the photos are meh I gladly go back to digital.

I kept a Panasonic TZ superzoom for similar reasons: so that I am never, ever tempted to buy one or anything remotely similar.

Call it GAS protection. Worth ten times the resale value of these items, in the long run.
