问:数码摄影是否会对传统摄影带来冲击?

王文澜:胶片受数码的冲击非常大,从胶片的生产、销售、冲洗各个环节都面临着萎缩,广大拿相机的人,绝大部分选择了数码,数码摄影也使摄影师从暗无天日(暗房)到光天化日(电脑)。胶片的使用仅限于少数艺术、纪实、商业摄影师,他们对银盐的迷恋,好比音乐发烧友对“黑胶”的感觉一样。胶片不会消失,也不会有太多市场。

Q:Do you think the increasing popularity of digital cameras has posed a threat to professional photographers like you?

A: The film camera industry has been hit hard by digital photography. The production and sale of film as well as the printing all face a shrinking market. Most photographers choose digital camera which saves them from the "complete darkness" (working in a darkroom) and puts them in the "sunlight" (working with a computer). The use of film camera is limited now among the few who specializes on art, documentary, and commercial photography. Their fascination with silver salts is as strong as those music fans of LP. In my view, the film camera will not disappear but it cannot take a big market.
