As someone who shot with film for many years, I don’t miss it. While there was a senses of anticipation getting the film back from the processor, digital is just so much better for me.
I can remember being told that the film was the cheapest thing about photography, so take lots of photos. After a 3 week safari in Kenya, I was very unsure of that. I think the film, the processing and then getting a few enlarged, cost me more than the holiday. Digital is so much easier, and cheaper.
I agree, being of mature years, I was raised on analogue, ( developed first film aged 4!) photography, and I thoroughly enjoyed most of the aspects of film photography, other than getting a bad back and sore feet from hours standing over developing trays and the smell ( stink?) of fixer.
I still do a little bit of alternative processes contact printing from a home made 5x7 pinole camera, as it's mypersonal belief that if one originates in analogue its analogue all the way through, print through an enlarger. I see 'hybridisation' shoooting on film then digitising by scanning as utterly pointless.
