Curious - are there any advantages to shooting with film vs digital?
I'm like a freakin gazelle...

Personally i like the visual print of film. It doesn't have that flat video screen look to it and i like the color rendition.
I like the grain.
I like that on my 35mm i dont get overwhelmed w/all the bells and whistles and millions of functions that these new DSLR's have that can easily distract and take away from the moment and experience at hand.
I like that shooting film forces you to actually slow down and think about and feel the picture you are about to take. It forces you to put it all together and do it right the first time. It's not as forgiving as digital so it forces you to become a better photographer than just click click click and pick the best one later and/or fix it in a computer program later. It lets me concentrate more on the "art of photography".

It's hard to dislike film after seeing your work.

I will complain about the resolution of 35mm though. Medium format film is next for me and i'd love to one day pick up a large format... (and a dslr one day... shhhh dont tell anybody lol . I'd like to have them all)

Go blad 500 series, not that pricey. It'd just be a bigger pain to do processing.
