For me since mid-2018 it's almost exclusively film and manual cameras. I'm going backwards
Originally posted by tvdtvdtvd I personally find film to now be obsolete for my needs. I simply can not imagine willingly going back to no instant
review, having to wait for a roll to be shot before development AND the hours to weeks it might take to see the results.
I find my photography is often better without the instant review
counter intuitive I know, though I'm sure I'm not the only one...
Originally posted by Bob 256 Practically speaking, film is going to become a commodity in the not too distant future since demand for film has tanked with the advent of digital photography, particularly that available in everyone's phone these days. I'm a pragmatist in that I see film manufactures scaling back because of those falling sales, so my move to digital was partially one of realizing film would increase in cost and become less available (not to mention the availability of developing).
As others have mentioned, this was true about 15 years ago however things have changed since then. In my time shooting film - about 10 years now - I've seen some products go, other new ones emerge, some reduction in retail film labs yet expansion in specialised ones, and from my perspective more interest in shooting colour negative film. Amongst other things. So it seems to be changing shape rather than dieing.

Digital is better. Film is more fun
Personally I disagree with this and find film better for my purposes.
