Of course there was no RAW with film.

Idiotic question, but the AI answer vaguely correct.

Apart from its definition of Slide Film being something other than
'raw', in the same way as negative film could be consided 'raw'.

Not really, and it all seems like a load of old tosh - and I have never
heard of any film camera having any RAW setting (so the answer to the
original question is probably "NO")

Apart from exposing our own lack of knowledge, does this serve any
useful purpose ?

I am especially baffled by the "Choosing your Film" section along with
the meaningless "Color Negative Film (The RAW equivalent)" and "Slide
Film (The JPEG equivalent) headings (= utter bollocks)

Luckily theres no mention of B&W film or any digital equivalent of
Farmers Reducer :-\

How about orthochromatic vs. panchromatic?

(which reminds me... gotta send ANOTHER letter
to the museums, etc., with their footage of
the Hindenburg Dirigible disaster, reminding them,
AGAIN, to check whether the movie film was ortho
or pan... which would make a BIG difference when
comaparing to modern day, usually digital (but
at least panchromatic) recreations/comparisons..
