I was a die hard film user till I got my professional digital camera. I can't even finish the roll of film in my old camera because I know it will never look as good as it used to. For weeks now I have been scanning my family photos into my computer (probably 1,000 or more). I'll be so glad when I'm finished. But then comes the hard task of touch-ups, repairs and other fixes in Photoshop. No, I'll never go back to film. I've had too many damaged pictures and negatives. Especially a few years ago when a lab ruined 4 rolls of 36's film for a wedding I had shot.
