With my Canon Pro 90 IS and my Optio 230, I entered the world of digital. Now, I am back to shooting film. I love slides. I love being able to see them without having to activate a computer all the time. I love using my Stereo Realist camera. After getting the E-6 film processed, I mount the chips in RBT mounts and enjoy the stereo effect. I shoot weddings using film. I did one wedding with a borrowed DSLR (Canon D60). I took lots of pictures and spent a lot of time doing post production work on some of the files. Not much fun IMHO. With film, I can let my processor do all of the work. If I need digital, I'll get CDs with the processing. I resurrected my Polaroid Spectra to show some "magic" to a 2 year old boy. He loved looking at a white card that came out of the camera and watching the white disappear to show him. He begged for more pictures. . Digital has its place. Film has its place. Most of the folks on this list started with film. Many have abandoned it. I will utilize my Spotmatics, LX, 645, and PZ1-p with the film I can still get.
