It's so pity to hear that. Although digital is much convenient, film
shots is still very interesting. I don't know when I'll switch back to
digital but I'm pretty sure I'll keep on film shots if the film is
being supplied & the price I can afford.
I can't imagine I'd keep on film shots for a long time (from 2004) &
still maintaining.
OM system (2004) ---> Nikon ZF (2008) ---> Leica M (2009) ---> 4x5
(2010) ---> 8x10 in the future?
Rolleiflex T (2008 ---> till now)
