M8 owners still use film M's?

I have kept my hasselblad and 5x4 system but sold my MP so if its film for me its not 35mm. I still develop and print my own stuff. I make sure I have a regular film record of my childeren as I am really concerned about digital archiving long term. There has been some pretty inteligent debate on this subject on the Hasselblad web site (mdium format firum) recently and the consensus is that film is still looking good for long term storage.
 
It is so interesting that so many of you are voicing what I have been doing. I have a freezer full of MF 120 film-trix and Konica Infrared 750 film. I always shot with my Mamiya 6mf and have not used 35mm for years. I loved and still love the 6x6 format- not available in any of the digital cameras. SoooI bought an Epson R-D1 when it came out and loved it and also bought my M8 this past spring and love it even more. BUT- I still have that heart wrenching gut feeling that will not go away when I see a wonderful B&W 6x6 shot.
So keep taking out my Mamiya and also my Rollei TLR load the film in, put on the infrared red filter and then take out my R-D1 and M8 to shoot... go figure..Edie
