Oliver, you have a scanner. I think your original premise is the correct premise - shoot film, scan film. Archive the film, print the scan. Your great great great grandkids will still be able to recover the images from the film. Not true if someone does not migrate digital images forward to the latest technology.

I also think Harrison has the correct answer for film cameras/lenses. Basically a Canon and a USM lens. Checkout keh.com for used gear as they are honest, conservative, and take returns without question. 

Jim,

I find myself shooting more and more of my family photos on film with my Leicas.

Why when I have some of the top of the line digital imaging equipment from cameras to computer to printers and that is how I make my living and was one of the first "converts" to all digital in my area?

Well...simple...I take a roll of film to Kroger and in one hour I have 4x6 prints, a roll of negatives and a CD. I need no computer to share my photos with family members, a scrap book of my family can be looked at by relatives down the road with no worries about digital needs, and heck...the best is I get to use my M6es :)

For work I far prefer digital...for personal works I like film still.
