Default Re: Is film really so out of favor?

I have a 35mm SLR and a couple of compact 35mm rangefinder cameras and I will probably always keep them but I don't see ever using them again. Film is expensive then the cost of processing and the wait for the negatives to be returned just takes too much effort and time when I can get equal quality from my DSLR and be viewing and processing the pictures almost immediately. I don't have anything against film but digital is just easier and quicker.

I once developed my own b&w film and printed a few pictures and really enjoyed it. I didn't even mind the smell that much but I didn't have a good place for a dark room and it was just a hassle to set up and then have to tear it all down. It is so much easier to sit at a computer and "develop" my pictures and I have more control than I had with the enlarger plus now I can do color. I don't think I will ever go back to film because for me digital is so much better.
