I do enjoy film's tactile and tangible side, and for projection digital
can't touch a good slide, The primary reasons I want to keep using
film is because that's what the Leicaflexes and the R4 use. I value
the SL/SL2 viewfinder, finding it much easier to use than anything else
in difficult light, and for small and light with Leica-R glass the R4
is a tough act to follow. OTOH the quality of the DMR's output at ISO
400 and above, where I use it most, leaves similar-speed films in the
dust.

I brought up the subject with SWMBO today and this might cost more than
I originally estimated since she wants completely new cabinets in the
laundry room as part of the deal ;-)
If we want to keep Kodak and Fuji bringing out new and better films the
most influential vote we have is with our dollars yen euros or currency
of your choice.
