    I shoot about 98% digital, but I still have a film camera and some rolls in the fridge because I look to shoot film alongside digital sometimes. All of my spotting photos are digital, as it's hard to change cameras mid-sequence; I use film to shoot static subjects that I'm also shooting digital.

    I always wished I got into slides a bit more. There's just something about having a PHYSICAL representation of your photos that yuo can walk around with without needing your computer and monitor.

    I'm all digital, but I'm pondering experimenting with film a bit. It occurs to me that I can use two of my three lenses with a film body, were I to rent one for a few days...and 28mm would be plenty wide on film...

    I'm not sure I'd want to spot on film, because you're paying by picture. But for some of the city/landscape stuff I like, I suspect film prints would blow up to 16x20 better than digital prints do.

    Film.....what is Film...? LOLOLOLOLOL God no. digital all the way. Digital is FAR more cost effect for this hobby and allows for greater flexibility in acquiring the shot.

    i shot film until 2004 with a variety of point-and-shoot cameras until 2004, thats when i made the digital SLR jump...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
