are there any film shooters here?

[MRCPix]

I shoot film because I don't have the money to buy a digital SLR that will give the me the results of VELVIA. So I was wondering how many people still shoot film?

[xseption]

I shoot film still since I cannot yet afford a decent digital camera ...

I have a film camera but I don't use it much.

Strictly film here. Everything B&W I develop and process myself, color I send out. I have nothing against digital, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Before the days of graphic artists, there were people called photographers that shot pictures with something called film.

Photographers have always been graphic artists who selectively frame, crop and highlight by
dodging and increasing contrast.

Oh, I was just being silly.. To be honest with you I hate film vs. digital threads, it reminds me of the Harley vs Japanese bike or Nikon vs. Canon arguments. All nonsense.
I just wanted to clear the air before I get tagged as a digital basher. None of you know me, but I can be a bit sarcastic at times. Hopefully nobody took my post the wrong way....

Well, I was forced to go digital b/c I had to transmit and meet deadlines. For black and white, I still prefer film (although I hear they stopped selling Tri-X ). I shoot with an F100 and an F3 for film. I will say that going digital has made me less conscious of exposure and such, getting lazy cuz I know I can fix it. I used to have to be dead on when I was shooting slide film.

I do all my own B & W work (when I can get into a lab) so I love working in the dark room.
I have become addicted to slide film just because I love the colors. I wish I could find a print film that was close to it for fast action shooting.

I use a Nikon N80 and I hope to get the money together this year to get a D200, but I will probably always shoot film I like the quality I get from slides.

What is this word "film" you speak of?
