Are you fully digital(ized)? or do you occasionally reel back real films?
Just curious as a cat,

Thomas,
Get this ...
Film cameras for all my professional work; digital for all my "point and shoot". Mind you, my professional subject matter is generally quite still (architecture and interiors), so I'm after the kind of detail that digital just can't match yet. Plus I need the movements of a view camera for various technical reasons.
I use Sinar 4x5 and Hasselblad 2.25 camera systems that are each 25 years old and still outperforming this year's latest digital offering. My two year old Nikon D2x is now considered virtually obsolete, certainly inferior, when compared to it's successor, the D3. (And the Sinar is Swiss made, just like the finest freshwater submarines in the world!)
That's not to say I don't value digital, I do. But as a performance junkie there is no comparing 35mm digital capture to large format film photography. Note, though, that all post production is digital from high resolution drum scanning (to 400 MB, or more) to selective retouching in photoshop.
Time to gather up the worms; I think I just dropped the can.
Say "cheese" ...
