[quote]I'd take your point completely if we were trolling on a digital forum, but to be fair, this is a film discussion forum. [quote]
Did someone move the thread? I'm finding it in "Off-topic" - > "general talk" :-)
Some people enjoy developing of film and paper in the darkroom, or like the "look" of film. To them, digital media removes some warm fuzzies, perhaps. I did some printing in the old days, but I don't miss it.
Some people prefer prime lenses over zooms. I can't see much difference from the gallery images, though. At larger than 11 x 14 there might be some noticeable difference, but how often do we do that? Someone wants 9 primes in their bag to try to match the perfect lens with the subject? - great, but I don't.
Some people think using manual mode teaches you something (apparently forgetting there is no difference in exposure if the camera sets 1/500 at f8 or you do.) Whatever the lesson is, I guess I missed that day, but many people have said "great shot" or "great color" at my (mostly) "P"-produced images.
I could never go back to film now, both because of economics (film and processing), and the instant gratification of digital.
But if someone wants to shoot film with a much-loved nifty-fifty in manual, who am I to argue?
You should do what you like to do. If you like the results, that's all that matters - unless your client doesn't.
