hi Frank,
I can jump too. I made about 100 rolls total in my 5
years shooting film (yes, only 100 in 5 years). I
shoot very few frames, not because of money, simply
because this is how I take photos. I've bought a
digital camera 6 months ago and have shot around 3000
photos. So, I shot in half a year, the number of
exposures I did in 5 years. And I still shoot few
frames of a given scene, but now I can shoot pics for
friends who need it, for my university studies and a
large number of etceteras. I can experiment a lot
without worring of costs, and make some money too (low
margin income is possible if you don't pay for film
and processing. Also, since I'm a few frames shooter,
now I don't have to wait a month to finish a roll.
I love to have gone digital, I like the results I get,
I don't think automation means a shit when taking a
good photo, it's about a sharp eye connected to a
sharp mind.
Believe me I don't miss film, at all.
Regards

Albano
