Hi,
I used to enjoy film with Contax G1, Olympus XA and Stylus Epic.
Went digital for many years with Olympus E-510 and HG lenses, but my wife always said..." your film pics looked better!"
And I think she was correct!
So...I am going to go back to where I was. Same equipment...recently acquired a beauty XA and Stylus Epic on eBay and a Contax G1 hopefully for Christmas!
Will shoot our Outer Banks vacation all on film. Likely Portra NC...I like the subdued palette. Will post later.
Best,
Angus

Angus,
Welcome back to the film side. It's always good to listen to the wife. Can't wait to see some images of your trip.

Hi,
Thank you all for the warm welcome...it feels good!
Another inspiration prompting my return to film was this site:
http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2010/05/13/is-film-making-a-comeback-why-indeed-it-is/
Perhaps some of you may find it interesting. I certainly did.
Best,
Angus

The only problem is finding film and competent+affordable dev/scan/print service in the GTA. Consumer Fuji films have practically vanished and cheapo Costco labs are done. Try FilmPlus for selection and price on pro film. If you're anywhere close to the westend, Brown's in Mississauga is great for C41/E6/b&w. I've pretty much shelved 35mm for medium format--the gear is too cheap to pass up! Live it up, Angus!
