I don't own a digital camera and don't want one. 35 & 120 are what I love. If I could afford to get started in 4x5 I would add it to my team.

While digital photography has advanced to a degree that makes film a thing of the past, I still can't think of anything more beautiful than a well done color film tranparency projected on a screen in a darkened room.

My Nikpn system is too extensive to discard. My shooting is a bit more than rarely, but too many processors are quitting. I pack a digital point & shoot for church requirements, but prefer my Nikons. Will be looking into a good mail order processor. I am afraid film is going, but hopeful. LSU's Fine Art photo classes still use Black & White.

I still use film for about 40% of my work, so I'd say I use it more then rarely. For me its an issue of deadlines. If there is no rush I'll most likely shoot with film.

I shoot 35mm and have 2 DSLRs that produce very good images. I have thought about getting my file camera out, but the inconvenience of processing and scanning is a negative factor. However, I may get a roll of Portra 160.

I don't see the need for film. It still has to be scanned to get into the computer for retouching etc.

I did shoot film, but no since 2003. Don't miss it at all.

Have no desire to go digital. I use both color and black and white and make 4x6 prints and sometimes 8x10s. My wife has a digital and has never made a print.

I still use my Nikon F5's and my Mamiya 6x7 for film but my Nikon digital gets preference most of the time.

It has become too difficult to find a good photo processor and I do not have the equipment or area to do it myself.

I love B&W and sometimes shoot with film in my Pentax 646=5. Film of coice is Acros. Some programs give you the same effects digitally but nothing digital compares to a well exposed B&W neg. I do put it into the computer ... having said that some of the new programs ( Nik) come very close. As the gap narrows so will my use of B&W film. Woking in the darkroom with chemicals does not do my one lung any good.

Film will never die - there will always be a professional market for it.

I think that there will always be a need for film and in some cases it's a better choice than digital.

I still love to squirt slides on a screen. Although I have one digital camera I would hate to see my collection of film cameras made unusable for lack of film (35mm and 120) .

Film is a classic look, but quality wise it can't touch digital.

I use 4x5 transparency and am very concerned about obtaining it in the future. I am currently stockpiling it and hope that E-6 processing will still be available for several more years.

It has become nearly impossible to process E-6 slide film locally. The cost of sending it out is getting prohibitive. I have gone back to color negative and B&W film but worry that will also become an expensive, mail order processing option. If the cost of processing continues to grow my film cameras will be moth-balled in favor of the digital models.

Yes, I still shoot film mostly negative film. I am fascinated by all the possibilities that have been opened by digital photography but I am also a traditionalist. I don't think I want to see the demise of film altogether from the market. The only digital camera I have now is on my cell phone but I have been researching to purchase a good digital camera.

I still shoot film. I use more medium format than 35mm film but film is still important to me in my personal shooting. My photographic business shooting is almost all digital now. I would most certainly miss transparency film in particular if it were no longer available.

I have invested in film equipment; I know how to shoot using film; I belong to APUG and there are many who do throughout the world. I think if publications were fair and honest, they would stop making film and film users sound like they are from a time past. They are very much present and it is not fair to constantly refer to film in the past tense. I suspect that advertisement dollars do more to dictate editorial policy than editorial honesty. If matters pertaining to film were given more attention, publishers would do less to drive a stake in the heart of film. So, please, be objective for gosh sakes and uphold the proud tradition of objective writing. I think there is a future for film, a bright but limited future.

I guess I'm one of the hold-outs for film. I know too many new "pros" who set their digital camera on auto, take hundreds of photos, do hours of post production to get a handful of good photos. Don't get me wrong; I know many great photographers who use digital but I sill love the challenge of putting all my knowledge on the line and getting it right: on the film. I know eventually I'll have to go digital, but for now, I'm still holding out.

It will be a sad day when film is gone. I am just discovering slide film, MF and 35mm and love the depth and color.
