I like shooting film sometimes. It's a lot of fun. I like having to really think about my subject and composition, as well as the process of manually fine tuning everything. Shooting film really makes you aware of your surroundings more than a DSLR camera because you really have to consider why you're taking the shot. After all, film isn't so cheap and processing isn't cheap either, even if you're doing it at home with your own chemicals.

Also, there's just something about older lenses that I really like. Overall however, I like digital that much more.. because it really is flexible and affords opportunities which you might otherwise might not have had.

LOL. .on the other hand, a small 35mm Pentax will rarely get you kicked out of a venue, or will rarely draw that much attention to you. They can be very stealthy, and if your a PJ, this is very important. Nothing screams "paparazzi" more than holding a big Ol' DSLR with a battery grip and a 70-200mm while waiting outside of a posh NYC hotel... *not that I've ever done that!*
