I feel there are quite a few on this list who have taken up film again, if not for everything then at least from time to time. In my own case, I've just shot two films in my MZ-S, and have one running in a Spotmatic. Last week I finally got around to developing a roll from another Spotmatic, which was mainly used to test it.
Why? For me, I just like the results, I don't always need to see them immediately, and I'm confident enough in my (used and tested) gear to feel that the results will be at least acceptable. And, I must confess, I have a hankering to get out the enlarger and have one of those magical smelly hypo-laden printing sessions again!
