Thanks for this post! My father-in-law has an old Pentax Spotmatic film camera that I just got repaired! I’m so excited to be testing the waters in film. :-)

wow… i think it’s funny how people keep saying how they’re not happy with Jose’s “tone”… hehehe… I thought it was heartfelt and not offensive whatsoever. There’s no reason to be insecure people of digital background… Jose’s not even kind of bashing here… I love digital too… I just happen to love film more. And for me, it has always been about what speaks to my heart… so why would I not follow my heart and shoot what makes me happy. Shoot what makes you happy… there is no reason to compare or feel slighted because you aren’t on the film train… do what you do only because you love it… not because you feel like you have to. Also as a side note to the UK users… I totally feel for you not having awesome labs. But I do know that labs here in the US ship stuff all the time. And also I get 100% of my film online (ebay no less)… super cheep and quite reliable. Thank you Jose for sharing your heart… please keep doing so. xoxo

@mike – I do not understand why you subscribe to a premise that equates not shooting digital as to “fighting it”.

Really, my friend…like digital is all that good?

There is nothing to fight. It’s amazing that film shooters are secure in their craft and never lobby digital only shooters to “stop fighting it” and shoot film…but I have read many posts from digital guys such as your self that have this need to “convert” film shooters to digital.

Live and live.

I shoot both and someday will probably be 70% film again. Sure, one may tweak a good scan of film but to me, that tweak is generally so much better than my digital counter-part. I have shot and worked with several DX and FX digital cameras, both Nikon and Canon and I’m not over impressed.

I miss my film days and I appreciate every single shot I’ve ever taken on film.
