  But not film B&W, which has a different colour and contrast response to "let's remove all the saturation" viewfinder B&W. Personally I'm happy with a 100% digital workflow. In fact these days I take most photos on an iPhone, and leave the SLR at home. But I also know that film and optical filtering look different.. You can produce an imitation of a film look with digital processing. But it's an imitation. There are subtleties of colour, grain, contrast/brightness response, and differential colour resolution that are very complicated. And different films respond in different ways. Everyone can see the difference between digital, budget Kodak, and a roll of Fujifilm Velvia. And if you're shooting medium or large-format, that's a different ballgame again. Don't believe me? Take some pictures of a fire. The film and digital versions will look completely different. Is it worth the effort? For snappy snaps, certainly not. Digital kills it for convenience. But if I worked as high-end commercial landscape, architectural, or art photographer, I'd certainly consider film for at least some projects.
