Film is more expensive to use than a DSLR after a fairly short number of exposures. AND the primary cost of using a SLR/DSLR system is in cost of the multiple lenses, not the single body.
I have shot over 4000 frames with my DSLR camera in two years, film and film developing alone, no prints, would have cost much more than the $350 I paid for the DSLR, not to mention the value of all the time saved.

I do - matter of fact, just bought myself a working Mx, a second one to restore, and will keep using film as long as I can. Film cameras are rather cheap now, so it's possible to assemble a "dirty gear" spending less than $150, so there's no worry about damaging or losing $$, and I'm going where I never had the courage to carry my LX - and if my gear gets stolen, I very much doubt the thief is going to develop my films... no pic taken with that gear is going to appear anywhere. There are lots of places to go where 35mm negative film is promptly available and correctly developed. I intendo to go more digital soon, but as long as there's film, I'm using it.
