I recently got into Photography, and I thought about Film (and im still considering) But instead I bought a Nikon DSLR, it takes really nice pictures, and the prints turn out very well. I recently gained acess to Michigan Techs darkroom, so film photography may not be too far away.
The reason I picked up a DSLR is I can take 4,000 pictures, (1500 on the best quality) and I can play around with photoshop, Ive got alot of interesting things, and Im in one of the best places on the planet, I just cant justify taking 50000 pictures on film and having them stack a few miles deep, Lol
Now just to buy a nice telephoto lens.....
