Absolutely true. I love to develop film. Otherwise, crazy. E6 is fun but crazy expensive.I don't shoot film for money, just for the enjoyment and documentation of family. For shots that count and make me money I roll out the digital.
There are so many cameras to try and not enough time or money. Same goes for film.
I love cameras too! If something is a burden get rid of it.I love cameras; as a tool and as portable, functional art. I like looking at them, working on the broken ones and occasionally shooting with them; they make me feel good.
I have a lot of them and I won't apologize for having them.
Do they make me a better photographer? No.
Do I expect them to? No.
I have given away many cameras to young people who express a genuine interest in film photography; people who I feel will pursue at least a reasonable attempt at learning and using said camera.
Tools can be works of art too...
For 'fun' I much prefer a Leica M3 to a Nikon F. An M4 to an F2. An M7 to an F3. Even though of course all can make superb images. Or not.
I don't find the F6 'fun'. The F4 is a bit more fun because it has knobs and is less complicated, but still not exactly fun. But they - along with so many other AF slrs (N75, F80 other brands too) - just give such CONSISTENTLY great results, they really are more tool-like.
I love tools, I have 10 different drills alone, all have a purpose.....you can not have enough tools.
