I'd take your point completely if we were trolling on a digital forum, but to be fair, this is a film discussion forum. I don't get the sense that anybody's hurling around insults here. To me it's a bunch of enthusiasts for an archaic artform, talking amongst themselves before they drift off into extinction.
first of all I don't think that "archaic" is even close to the right description for film. second none of us film shooters are any more of 'enthusiasts' than any of y'all digital shooters are so I don't think its fair to separate us in that way. we are all interested in photography here....

I'm sorry but this is just rude at best (unless you were being sarcastic) as a 24 year old film shooter I think its ridiculous that one would assume that because someone chooses film over digital they must be old and 'nostalgic' about it. I am in no way 'old' or 'nostalgic' over film or the vinyl records I listen to, its simply the medium and the tools that go with it that I enjoy using.
