I do! In this digital age I find myself gravitating to film more often than not. I love the properties of the beautiful Kodak Portra 160VC for portraits. Or the Ilford Delta Professional 100 for a BL/W portrait. I'd love to hear from you guys. Is it strickly digital or do you still use film? | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements. SIGN UP today and help support our community.

I still use it. With film I don't feel like I need to PS anything even though I could when it is scanned. I like the looks of Portra 160, Ilford B&W, Fuji velvia. | | | |

Use film? Duh.
There are like minded souls in DFW. Beware. They will tempt you with larger formats. Where's Big Dog?

I do love B&W film still. Especially enjoyed shooting a roll through an M6, and I have 3 more rolls ready to go through my Maxxum 7 if I ever get the time.

No and after spending the last couple months scanning my negatives and slides I appreciate my digital more. The thing I did like more was the full frame aspect which is why I finally bought a 5D to compliment my 7D. Then that's just my opinion.
