I break out my TLR when someone has an interesting project that's well suited for it and I can bill them for it. My standing rate is 100/hr, one location, for film it's 200/hr. It's sort of a once a year thing nowadays, but, enjoyable. Takes me back to being a starving college kid doing this professionally, running around outside like a wild man capturing images for rent money. It's a good balance now really, because doing dev management is far more lucrative, and I can afford to take the gigs that I want to take instead of taking every gig offered. It is true though, bringing the film shoot intentionality to the digital world is the correct mindset, and sure modern digital can rip through 14 frames a second, but, if your moment happened at frame 8.5, you still can miss it, and are rewarded with 10-20x the amout of hard disk space to comb through hoping for a keeper.
