There will always be arguments with film and digital, many of which are not so valid as in years past when digital resolution was not as good as today and when digital darkrooms were more primative.

I shot film for years, admittedly with less intent than I have today...doing mostly snapshots and some artistic flare from natural pov.   Then again, I depended on the film lab for processing.

Perhaps if film shooters have the total processing lab in their basement or garage, they do appreciate the postwork.  Certainly the old timey classic photogs did!   Color is a different breed of processing than bw..another factor.

I do like film. However, I have no home processing lab and certainly would not be doing color. Processing at home would become a totally new adventure and serious hobby...photo development at home.
I would likely have little time to actually go out and shoot photos,..I simply shoot more and just as accurately develop now by digital means.

Thanks for the poll.  Yes, surprised at those who have never used film. Well, who has vinyl and needs a new stylus for the old turntable? Some have never seen an LP record, the flat grooved plastic things. Some have not see cassette tapes and certainly not 8 tracks!   A surprise on film if really not so surprising afterall.  I forget my age.
