Despite a widely held assumption that we who choose to shoot film do so because we hate digital photography, most of us also shoot digital.  In fact, we choose film because we love film!  This shouldn't come as a surprise.  As Chris Weeks said in my interview with him, they are the "best full-frame sensors out there ... those rectangles of film."  Of course, there are more types of film than the 35mm film to which he referred.  Here are a few of the reasons we love to shoot film!

A follow-up to ~vaporiss's news article, Why we [still] use film...



sometimes we find the results amusing

To not use film simply because of the ease of digital photography is silly and a waste.
Film is, and will always be, a powerful medium.
(And I shoot digital predominantly, hah.)

film photography is beautiful and amazing. I'm not a photographer, but I really respect it.

Thank You.

Great shots but I don't see where using film made the difference really.

I'm a neutral in the whole film vs digital debate though. People should just use what they like.

there is no debate about film vs digital here. there's just... "we the users in this article like to shoot film because we like it and think it is pretty." many of these, however, flat out cannot be emulated digitally.
