Well Im a big fan of film although I can't remember the last time I picked a film camera up. My main reason for this being the ease of use of digital. The reason im such a big film fan is that it's what I grew up and learned with. I found film a great teacher!!!!! you would have to think about things before taking the image instead of just snapping away and then deleting it if it didn't work. You only had to be told once about how f-stops affected dof and you would know what an f-stop was. some of the effects that you could get by push processing etc and the different characteristics of differing film types were fantastic and although people say "Ive got a plugin that makes it look like that" I would say "Not quite". I do think that digital has de-valued the photographic image.
