I grew up with film photography and also did a fair bit of B&W darkroom work back in the day. I have a European vacation coming up and I started thinking about what kind of camera(s) I should bring on the trip. After pondering the question for a LONG time, I decided I would use 35mm film. I could try to give my own detailed reasoning, but I think the following YT video does a better job explaining. Watching this video pushed me over the edge to make the decision to use film. I may still bring a small, inexpensive digital for low-light situations, but the bulk of what I plan to shoot will be on film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv6VFy1Mx_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv6VFy1Mx_g I'll mention 2 specific points that I don't think are mentioned in the video: (1) I'm sick and tired of all the digital tracking, (2) I don't have to have ANY batteries of any kind to take pictures with my old Nikon F2 35mm camera. Before anyone makes the claim about it needing batteries for the light meter to work -- I don't need a light meter to take good photos.
