Alright, for all you who feel digital has killed your creative process, I have thought up a solution!
Step 1: Acquire a single e-dial camera. A K-x will do nicely.
Step 2: Write down the correct sequence of button presses to change to a certain ISO on a piece of paper, so that you can do it blind. Write down 100, 400, 800, and 1600 only.
Step 3: Make sure that use aperture ring is enabled in the menus (you may want to write this down too, just in case), set your white balance to daylight, place the camera in RAW, and pick your favorite ISO.
Step 4: Break your rear LCD with a hammer.
Step 5: Put your camera into M and then superglue down the mode selection dial. Adorn the mode dial with either the top of a winder, or a faceplate showing shutter speeds.
Step 6: Place your AF/MF slider in the MF position and then superglue it down.
Step 7: Epoxy over the exposure comp, green, play, LV, and AF/AE-L buttons. You won't be needing these.
Step 8: Buy a whole bunch of A or FA glass.
Step 9: Throw away any of those fancy 1GB + SD cards you may have, and instead buy a handful of 32MB capacity cards. Bring only one or two extras with you when you decide to go shooting.
Step 10: Upon completion of a "roll," mail your card off to a stranger along with five bucks. Make sure the stranger batch-processes your RAW files with auto exposure settings, and sends you back a CD with poorly encoded JPGs. Make sure he also keeps the SD card.
And there you have it! The complete film experience for the digital age. Ah, I can feel the nostalgia coming already.
