I am excited to see this forum startup. I am an old guy; 65 years old. I still favor film over digital. Of course there is a place for digital, just as there is for film. Film has creativity and depth.
I started in photography in High School around 1974. I borrowed the school's Minolta SRT101 and used the school darkroom to process and print. Eventually I got a Pentax Spotmatic F. In 1976 I secured a job at a local portrait studio. I processed and printed all of the B&W. Majority of the prints were studio Head & Shoulder, businessmen and High School seniors.
I joined the US Navy in 1977 so my photography was put on hold. I progressed to Canon cameras, purchasing a Canon F1 around 1979. I enjoyed building that system with wide angle and dedicated Macro lenses.
Around 1988 I moved to Nikon with a 8008s and a F100. I stayed with Nikon (film) finally purchasing a Nikon F5 as a retirement present for myself after 24 years in the Navy. I started shooting weddings and senior portraits with a Bronica ETRS, having been very familiar with the 120 format from my days at the photo studio.

I traded the Bronica system to venture into the Nikon digital bodies.
I have regretted that move immediately. IMHO, the digital image is able to be manipulated; however a film image is produced and printed with an artistic goal.

Thank you,
