My feelings about this issue match what Mark has just said.
I would add to those, that the enjoyment factor of using film cameras can be an
important one.

And how much were his conversion costs. How much
did he pay for the digital camera? How much for
the new computer? How much for the new
printer? How much for the fancy inks and spiffy
paper? And what about the need to upgrade every
six months or so? Film is cheap and film
processing is cheap. Digital is EXPENSIVE and really inconvenient.
