Re: Enjoying film
It's good to hear people enjoying film, when I first got into photography 20+ years ago I really enjoyed choosing different films for different effects and seeing the different results.
But I have to say, I would not go back to film now.
I enjoy the comfort of being able to see I have the image I want and the fun of being able to edit them to achieve different results.
I don't miss the wait for developing, or the cost of film.
I also enjoy the flexibility of achieving different results for individual images, whereas in the past you were stuck with a roll of film until you've finished it.
However, as I say I do appreciate the process and understand why some people would enjoy it.

Re: Enjoying film
For the simple reason of having to hear many people say that us digital geeks have missed out on so much with digital I bought a Canon AE-1P at Christmas last year. Shot the whole month of December using film and absolutely loved it. The drama the romance and change of mindset helped a lot.
Now it sits on my bedside cabinet and gets used mostly for family occasions. It forces me to print my work to see it, and that's stuff you'll keep forever. I can't wait to use it on a summers day in the park or something.Leave a comment:

Enjoying film
Have been enjoying buying up some FD kit on eBay and a nice F1n body from USA, etc.
Got back some Fuji Velvia RVP and Provia 400x from the E6 lab - fantastic - real dynamic range, shadow detail and no blown highlights! Oh dear... how youngsters who have used digital only have missed out....
