Interesting. Digital has just the opposite effect on me. I get to see how I 
captured my previzualized image & fine tune it if needed. I believe its 
making a better photographer of me.

I shot about a dozen rolls of B&W last week - a few 120 rolls through
the 6x7 and several 35mm rolls. I even ordered 50 rolls of Neopan 400
and Tri-X (25 each) since I had depleted my 35mm stock of 35mm ISO 400
films.

By the same token I took about 500 digital images on the K10D and *ist-D
last week as well.

I do like the look and feel of film, and I like the mental exercise and
discipline that comes from shooting film and not seeing the results
immediately. I think that the process of pre-visualization is
compromised when you immediately see the results on a digital camera.

But as for slide film - sorry, I see no point in it unless you are
talking medium or large format. The the photos I can make from the K10D
blow away anything I could do with slide film, and I was able to get
some pretty good results from slide film when I used it.

I still have 20 rolls of E100S and Velvia 50 in the freezer that
probably should go on ebay...
