Kidding aside,..Film, Chemistry,Darkroom etc. has an attraction of it own, and if I was half a century younger then I would be interested in that , just as I was then in the Collodium process.
Now that way of photography does have challenges and virtues of its own,and providing the Mfgrs. continue supporting by offering the goodies required, then it will probably be around for a long time to come.
I mean to remember that photography was Not accepted as an artform until early 1930´s in the USA, and not until the 1950`s in EUROPE ,I still meet those who consider Digital as Not being art, but accept Film photography as so, Indeed , a true photog is someone who uses film.
Due to it being a complicated medium of different demands ,it does force the photog. to be more attentive to workflow,which in turn will offer rewards in satisfaction of self,and a deeper understanding of what makes a good picture.
In real terms, its a very small step from film photography to digital photography. I personally think anyone who draws a line between the two in terms of art, is missing the whole meaning of art.
