I shoot both digital and film but lately have been leaning more towards film ... just bought a 645N. Have a pair of ZX-5n's that sit in a dresser drawer more than they should. Those and some Nikon 35mm gear as well.

I can only say what I do, which may or may not work for you.

Most B&W I shoot is film. Most color I shoot is slide film, or digital. Don't really mess with color print film now, but with the new 645N addition, I may want to try Portra out.

If the film isn't the C41 process B&W, I take the film to a custom lab and tell them to just develop it and print a contact sheet. Then I just pick the ones I like off of it and scan them with my own scanner. I just have a Canon CanoScan 8800F .. nothing fancy but it works fine for me.

If I use the Kodak C41 process B&W, I take it to local grocery store lab, just have it developed and a low res CD made, no prints.
