Yes shooting film is so much more fun and satisfying then shooting digital. But digital has far surpassed film in terms of quality. But film has a look digital still can't quite do. Whether its the slightly off colors of film, or the grain structure giving texture to the image, or just the softer look of film to begin with (less clinical and more "character"). That said color film does have different coloring then digital, and I'd go out and say its less accurate. If you want a softer image- shoot film. I shoot both formats myself, because I can see the benefits of each type of shooting. And its good to have a backup for one or the other. Film is harder to shoot then digital, as it makes you work for your image. And you have to be very keen on taking that photo, because you only have a small amount of images you can make on film. I know Andy on here when ever he shoots color, he usually just shoots digital. Though lately he has dabbled in C41 color film. With large format film, you can technically get a huge rez scan made up, but again I'd question if a smaller digital camera could compete with that film file? That said I will always shoot film until the day I can't get it developed anymore. Or I just run out of film after the apocalypse has killed off film being sold. Im sure the government will at some point outlaw film all together so we stop using chemicals that they deem harmful to humans. I just hope my film cameras last that long before needing repairs that can no longer be fixed.
