I'm at about 60/40 now, shooting more film than digital, although I expect that to move increasingly towards digital going forward.

So I said 50/50.
 
I only use the digital p/s for family stuff-birthday parties and the like. The rest is pretty evenly split between bw film, chrome, and C41.

Similar to shutterflower.
I bought a Pentax *istDL2 "for the wife":angel:, but I prefer film - and get more keepers with it.

My preference is for B/W. The Didge gets used for color. My guess is that I'm presently shooting a 70/30 ratio of film versus digital. That's for personal use. At work, my work flow is 90 percent digital.
 
i use digital to shoot my film cameras mostly.
love those product shots ;)

but now with the grd i am starting to take digital a bit more seriously.
still learning how to use the grd.
 
I voted 75/25 Digital over Film, but really it's more like 98% digital, 2% film. Mostly I have a lot of film cameras that I like, so there's always one with some film in it that I'll occasionally fire off just for the joy of using the camera. Or sometimes because I want to use B+W film.

is GRD the Ricoh?
 
If I didn't sell stuff that needed photos online I'd never use a digital point & wait to shoot. I use film for everything else.
 
75 - 80% Digital. 20 - 25% film.

Digital for work. Requires fast turnaround and upload to news server. Papers are all going digital these days.

Film for hobby and simply to keep my hands on shooting film.
 
50/50. I love both for different reasons, and often use them together. For anything that requires tweaking (like lighting with flash), I'll get everything worked out using the DSLR, and then pull out the 6x7 or 4x5. A DSLR is a killer light meter.

The DSLR is also great for social/party shots and concert photography. Plus, the film version of your DSLR usually costs less than a battery for your digital. I picked up a featherweight EOS Rebel Ti recently for $20. It's nice to shoot full-frame without having to pay for (or lug around) a 5D. :) Loaded with neg film, the Rebel Ti is also a one-shot HDR camera by digital standards. I went to Vegas recently and didn't even bother taking a digital camera -- only neg film can handle the signs without blowing out.

I love my Mamiya 7, but I love the luscious 6x7 negatives and transparencies even more. There's no portable digital camera that can come close. It's a monster.

For portraits and other more carefully-composed shots, you can't beat 4x5. I think of my Super Graphic as a $300, 100 megapixel camera. Or in other words, Super Graphic: US$3.00/MP. Rebel XTi: US$68.00/MP. Leica M8: US$465.53/MP...

Ha :)
 
For the sheer convenience of it, I shoot about 75% digital, about 75% of that with an ultracompact digi and the other 25% with a DSLR. I use film mainly for B&W and on the film side shoot about 40% with RF, 40% with SLR, and 20% with medium format.

80% FILM from last summer to Christmas.... then the sweet wife bought me a Coolscan V and it's been 100% Film since.
 
No intention of going digital... 100% satisfied with my Leica M6 and Tri-X or Neopan. I love the traditional darkroom process from start to finish and nothing will change that.
