I understand why LF photographers use B&W film - the ability to home process with simple tools, the ability to manipulate the image, etc.

But why bother with color film? The development process is complex, exacting and not amenable to image manipulation. Any image enhancements seem much more readily accomplished in Photoshop, which means you've moved into the digital realm already.

It seems that digital capture, processing and printing has so much going for it that color film is literally obsolete. But it's not - people are still using it.

To quote my dad: Not "no", but "why"?
