Love film. SLRs... in my opinion still cant match the fun and effect of film. So what if you have 300 exposures of a photo and can modify all of them. I've got 36 exposures and I wont know how they look until I develop them. Its the difference between talent and I've got a 3000 dollar camera with 10k in lenses but still don't know what a f stop is. Did I mention my drone?

Im old school and I still love film.

I absolutely love shooting film for the results it comes out with, you can't replicate the grain the same way with a DSLR along with the unpredictability! I imported this camera from Japan for dirt cheap and threw myself into the hobby knowing nothing and just taught myself along the way lol

Honestly, my wife's mother is a photographer and has never developed film. Sacrilege in my book. She is has talent and 15k in lenses but I out shoot her with my 30 year old pawn shop zeiss lenses and a decent black and white 400 speed. Drives her nuts but with film, a decent lense and controll developing you cant be beat. The grain and light captured is amazing.

By the way I love how you used time effect in your picture. I know the spot and your shot is beautiful.

Yup! Easily accessible too, it isn't hard to get your hands on any of it.

Film is getting damn expensive though... especially color.

Even a few years ago I was getting Kodak Ektar for $4-5/roll and velvia was like $12-15, now Ektar is $15 and Velvia is $34. It's gotten insane.
