Originally posted by aleonx3 Unless you do your own film developing, you will miss the post processing (fun) part of digital RAW file. I am sure you still use film because you find it more challenging and intriguing than digital version of photography. For me, there is no turning back....besides, I can waste many many shots with DSLR without breaking the bank whereas I can not afford to do the same with film. Nevertheless, I can understand and wish you the best fun you have with film.
Originally posted by tuco Anyone still shooting film today most likely does so for other reasons than you mention. It's not about cost vs number of shots etc. That is old thinking and long in our past.
And I can tell you I don't waste a lot of shots shooting film. I waste a lot of shots shooting digital because it is so easy and therefore I get lazy and I can't equate my digital habits to my film at all. Now if that is the case for you then perhaps you never mastered film or are into sports photography or similar.
Agreed with Tuco.
That said, I began with film, moved to digital almost exclusively and then slowly back again to film. This happened for a myriad of reasons, not least of which was not *wanting* to deal with the thousands of images digitals allow me to accumulate without a moment's thought. THAT said, I find my digital shooting these days is greatly aided by the practices re-established in my shooting and workflows in film. But all of this is covered ad-nauseam in other threads here and throughout the PF.
I'm just wondering if folks here, PF film shooters (of which I consider myself one by and large) are considering this camera specifically since it's like nothing that Pentax has offered in the past, and arguably checks a few boxes of "reasons to shoot digital" (again or for the first time) previously left unchecked by Pentax offerings.
