    I use digital when it is the best medium for the job. Why shoot film if the customer wants images for a web site or he needs it NOW! But my portrait work is almost totaly film.

    Digital for eBay and stuff like that... film for everything else.

    I still use light sensitive materials to produce 100% of my work. Even my photographer's card reads "Guaranteed no digital " on the back.

    I own no digital cameras. At last count, about 26 film ones, 6 or 7 that I use as regularly as possible (from 35mm to 4x5).

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
    a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    That could turn some clients away.

    I would really recommend APUG if you're feeling outnumbered.

    If I was still earning a living from photography I would have to go digital, no two ways about it. Fortunately I can choose, and I chose to bin my digital camera several years ago (it had already died) and I'm in no hurry to replace it. It I absolutely *have* to shoot digital (eg web-site stuff) then I borrow my wife's!

    I will continue to shoot film for as long as someone makes it....
