Another reason for me is the variety of b&w films being produced. I’m enjoying trying different b&w films and seeing the results with having them developed as a regular negative or as a positive with the “dr5 CHROME” process.
You will never get to experience some of these great colour and b&w films if you only shoot digital.
Example, I was in class last night taking a photo course and the teacher and I were talking about our favorite films. (Of course I’m the only student shooting film.) The teacher was showing images from great photographers and up popped the Afghan girl shot from the National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry. I piped up and said it was taken on Kodachrome film, “The best colour film of all time”. The 20ish digital shooter beside me replied “What is Kodachrome?” :(

For me it’s the other way around, give me a reason to shoot digital? Film gives me everything I want (especially slides) in photography and its a lot of fun. I’ve only shot with film and for me there is no good reason to ever get a DSLR. The thought of being forced to use a computer in the photography process does not interest me or seem like fun. More like work to me, probably because I’m in the IT field and I’ve used a computer for my job ever day for the last 32 years. :fedup:
