I have both types of cameras. Used to shoot film for photos back in the day but found it expensive, so put the camera away.
Got a digital and my photo experience exploded. I could take pictures and see them for next to nothing once the initial investment in the computer and camera were made.
I only recently looked at getting back into film. Having inherited a couple of Leica's and being newly 'surplussed' by my former employer, I found I had time to explore film again. Alas, I'm finding things haven't changed much as it is still expensive, plus the eyes are getting older so the auto focus is much appreciated too.
I fear I may have jumped the gun on getting my M3 CLA'd too soon. 🙁
