Why isn't film dead?
You guys are clearly still using film, but can I ask why? What does film still have that modern DSLR's don't? I walked away from film a decade ago and can honestly say I've never looked back.

there is something very special about being able to handle the media one uses
and while you can apply effects in photoshop and the like, there is nothing like the randomness and the unpredictability involved in darkroom work. Don't get me wrong, I love my DSLR, but I still love the smell of the darkroom!

Film will be about long after digital.
the life span of the ink used if awful. keep it going.

it's getting better - it's the same as colour prints used to be.
