Where I stand.

Where I stand.

I'll be out standing in my field while y'all go down this road...

mostly M8 for convenience, speed and quality, MP and film for quality too and colour (digital doesn't do reds) plus Nikon Coolscan 9000 and fun. I do like the M8 though, I have to say.
 
All film but printing digital printing. Mainly because I prefer the look of the results I get from scanned film - but also I own 3 very good film cameras, I not planning to throw them in the bin until I have to and I hope I never have to.
 
I just recently gave up on color film because wet-printing it here (in my darkroom) has gotten too iffy: the materials I was using are discontinued and the replacements were available inconsistently, then discontinued. This was Endura in sheets and any of the Mono Chemistries. My last boxes of paper went bad while waiting for the backordered chemistry to get here- so I had paper but no chems, then chems but paper that was no good. Too frustrating, so I packed it in.

I do scan film, but it is one of my least favorite things to do. Too time consuming, especially when the all digital workflow produces prints that I like better. I've got a big backlog of negatives left to scan that I'm nibbling away at. I do prefer the results I get from the scanned film and the Epson 3880 to anything I got on Endura.

All my B&W is film exclusively.

Mostly digital, and with film only digital printing. I like the look of both, they each have their place and purpose.
 
!00% film. Nothing against digital, just like using the gear I have. Just not ready to put it on the shelf just yet!
 
Digital for action work, macro and micro work (especially beyond 1:1 work ) and events. And color mostly although I love analogue color and would like to process it sometime.
Film increasingly for pleasure even though I don't have the right equipment just yet. I shoot it mainly for the better equipment and philosophy one is forced to take.
I'm only a year in on photography and film is a great learning tool.
 
I shoot digital most of the time, but due to this forum I started shooting film again. My son and i developed a couple of rolls last week, it was fun.
 
Color mostly digital, now, except when I'm backpacking, I use color slide film.
For black and white it's film. And now that I'm developing/scanning myself, using motion picture filmstock, the cost isn't as much of an issue, and I can't indulge the urge to try new things out as I please.

I find myself straddling the line... I like digital for color, film for B&W.

Me too, just ... I shoot almost no color, OK. family pics. Like to do things by myself (no computer). I guess I am the one lucky to have simple, but permanent darkroom at home.
 
200% film. I print in the darkroom.

I enjoy my time away from the computer and continual electronic bombardment that I already receive on a daily basis.

The darkroom is peace and solace with zero distractions.
 
Film and Digital are both amazing.
I find my dig cam better at artificial, mixed light.
Film might be better at daylight.
Still learning both mediums,
I just rediscovered film, and it teaches me stuff.
Love photography!
 
Film and digital...it all depends on the task at hand. I get different results from each and it is a matter of matching the proper equipment to the task.

That said, I hope to be doing more and more film for the foreseeable decades and much less time on the computer for anything. I would rather be a photographer than a computer nerd.:p

Now, ask me which is better:


F I L M !!! Because I enjoy it more and the results are worth it.:)
