Yeah! Just a simple inquiry to the photographer population out there! Any of you still sticking with film out there?
I literally only have about 3 digital photos at the moment in my portfolio, seeing as how I don't own a dslr of my own.
I always enjoyed the aesthetics of film though, 120mm film especially. I must admit I'm enchanted with the whole aspect of developing photos myself. I'd probably stick with traditional film even if I did ever buy a digital camera..

Not yet. But I'm seriously thinking about getting a rangefinde. I would love to get a Leica M6, saving up for one. Hope to get it once I'm back in home in Holland. Just need to find a good deal. Developing your own films would be nice to do I guess. What camera's do you use?

Yes, I am, I just do not have a good scanner, negative or regular. My next investment is going to be a good negative scanner that way I can get my black an whites up.
Hopefully soon here I can convert some place in my house into a dark room that way I can go back to my film. I miss that so much.. =/

@mark - Leicas are AMAZING rangefinders. I borrowed one for the longest time from a friend and was pleased by whatever came out. Always worth whatever you get them for, haha. As of now, I own a canon T90, a topcon slr, and a holga. Once in awhile, mess with pinholes as well!
Though once I can scrape up some money, I'd definitely plan on buying some sort of twin lens reflex camera...love those things.
@static - scanners really are the major setback when it comes to putting stuff up online..ones that scan nicely are usually stupidly expensive..

Thankfully I've got a uber geek as a husband, and he can find me things pretty damn cheap. He knows too many people in too many places sometimes, and pulls some strings. So I am hoping that we can pull some strings and get a good one for cheap.

I have a polaroid camera, if that counts.I'm learning on it though, so nothing on here from that yet.

Yesss, polaroids are lovely!
They almost never seem to turn out badly for some reason.

I shoot film! 35mm, 120, and Polaroid/instant. What I use...
* Minolta Maxxum Qtsi * Yashica A (TLR) * Polaroid SX-70 Sonar * Polaroid Spectra * Polaroid Colorpack IV
I also have a Polaroid Automatic 100 which I'm itching to use; but I've still got to do a battery modification for it. (Ah, procrastination; I know thee all too well.)
I have one digital camera (Nikon Coolpix 5000...which I've had since the end of 2003!); and while I do like using it on occasion, I still lean more toward film.

I shoot film from time to time, 4x5 to be exact, but after developing the film I scan it to be post processed in Photoshop.

I shoot film & digital.. I primarily use digital for wedding photography. I'm looking at trying to get a nice Hasselblad film camera for landscapes and maybe a Fuji GX617 for panoramic shots..
