It's great to see people moving back to film, it's where I started and after 2 DSLR's (k100 & k10), I'm back to using an LX, MX, and a couple of compact rangefinders. I, and some other people thought I was nuts to do so.
But all the stuff about chimping, flat images, pixel peeping and complaining about chromatic aberrations is true. And the year-long life before the 'next best thing'. And I love the tactile feel of shooting a mechanical camera, and winding the lever.
Film can be pricey, I shoot quite a bit of Ilford B&W and develop & scan it myself. For colour, the Fuji Reala 100 and Superia 200 are pretty good, the latter found easily and cheaply in most pharmacies and camera shops (you can get a 3 pack of 24 exp for $10 CAD). I've taken a shine to the Fuji Pro 160C, it gives me a little bit of extra speed, scans well, and has accurate colour and fine grain. Pricey at about $9 a roll, though, but I don't shoot colour too often. I find 100 speed films hard to use because of the slow speed, my propensity to handhold most everything, and my northern latitude.
I'd like to try shooting some slide film, but like B&W, there's no where left in my province that processes it, so it has to be mailed out. I find it easy enough to develop my own B&W, but E6.... it'd have to be some special shots to warrant the effort, cost, and wait.
Plus I like the greater dynamic range that negative print film has over slides and digital; for me that's a huge benefit to shooting analog, as I more often than not find myself in high contrast situations.
I concede digital has 2 glaring advantages: Auto ISO, and high ISO colour (ever see 800 & 1600 colour film?
)
So have fun, and post results!
