More than anything else, the cost and time factor of film just took all the joy out of it for me. I'd shoot an event and there went $100-150 in film and processing costs. Then I get the shots back and I want to take them to my gallery so I start scanning the negatives and there goes 2-4 weeks of "scan, dust clean-up, post-process .... scan, dust-clean up, post-process". I still shoot film, I just don't seem to have the "film is magical" feeling that many people seem to have (not saying it's a good or bad thing, just don't have it). I have yet to hit a situation where I can't make a shot I took look exactly like a film shot if I want, down to the gamut and grain of a particular film (from the high saturation of Provia to the warm neutral tones of Astia to the high contrast/grain of Ilford Delta 3200). Maybe if my Photoshop skills were less than they are, I'd feel a little different ... hard to say. -=>Donald
