How interesting. I don't feel anywhere near as confident with a digital camera as I do with film and I suspect in part this is why it remains in the camera bag; a film camera or digital camera is as much a choice as a lens. > Cost of film and developing seem like an afterthought almost, because > it didn't really bother me then (I also think what is my own time > worth?) True and of course in this age of what can be done to a digital image, as much time is often taken here as in development. > I'm not suggesting I would return to film... extremely hard to do...

The one thing I still particularly like about E6 is that it forces you to consider the photo and then wait for the results. You nailed it or you didn't. I pretty much dread the day when I can't have film as an option.
