But exactly this sort of internet ‘wisdom’ was putting me off trying film around 15 years ago, and yet these days I see more people carrying film cameras than dedicated DSLRs.
If you’re shooting color-reversal film - say, something like Portra from Kodak, then believe me, digital cannot match that exposure curve, and the beauty of those colors.
I shoot about half digital - half film these days, because of the cost. But it’s the film images that are truly special.
