What I'm not nostalgic about is the cost. Going on an assignment, especially covering an event, often required shooting 10 - 15 rolls of 36-exposure film every day. That's only 360 - 540 shots per day: modest by digital standards. But the cost? Film + processing into slides = roughly $30 per roll.
Then finding out if I got the shots the magazine needed could not wait until I got back, because there's no re-doing an event. So, rushing to the nearest film processor to drop off the film, then rushing back to the event, then sweating the results, then rushing back to the processor...that is a world I happily say farewell to.
