Until my *ist D, all I ever shot since the mid 60's was slide film - so
you're not alone.
My mode of operation is much the same in digital as it was with film with
the exception that I can zero in on the exact exposure I want, thanks to the
histogram, especially using the R G B channels. It leaves me more time to
spend on compositions and orientations.

What's to miss - you can still shoot at low ISO ?
Not understanding your comment.
Goes back to earlier in the thread, it's the film vs digital element. It's
the discipline of getting the images you want with a film camera knowing
you
have 'x' amount of exposures on the film, and so spending more time really
thinking about the image you want. No looking at the back of the camera
for
a peek at a histogram or the image just taken.
I still miss slide film, from the comments here, very much a minority
thing
- and using a Pentax too - how small a minority is that (annual party in a
'phone box)? I'm looking forward to reliving those past moments of
developed
film landing on the door mat.
I am well aware that many people will not get that.
