What is it with people that shoot on film?
Film is expensive to film, develop and scan.
Yet what do they do? They film the most mundane bullshit.
Traffic lights. Or some mediocre bullshit to some obscure indie song.
Why do they all do this?
If you're gonna spend hundreds of dollars. Atleast film something good. But it's like they think the vintage aesthetic will make their shit good.
It's like they just want to see what their mundane boring life would look like on film.

most retarded thing about filmfags is that they scan the negatives. many of those fags send the film off to a lab and dont even want the negatives back. they just want the digital scans lol
that's a prime example of mental ilness

I absolutely think 90% of people shooting film here and beyond are just hipster faggots and/or people who want to distance themselves from the problems of digital and can't afford a top-end DSLR/MILC.
And yet, OP is a massive faggot and should gargle dicks instead of making threads.
Who cares if people like doing a thing. That's all it really comes down to.

i like using vintage film cameras. give me a way to shoot digital on those old film cameras and i'll do it. but if the only way to use them is film then i'll do that until. the better question is why does that bother you?

When I am being paid to take photos that I want to be technically perfect, I will use my digital kit. Autofocus, spray and pray. Like engagement photos. Boring, perfect looking, digital soulless photos. Like every photo in your portfolio

I like the whole process of shooting film and that means also developing the photos by myself and printing them.It's just fun to do it. I don't do it all the time though, because it's a pretty long work: developing, then drying, cutting, printing or scanning. That can take hours. Typically I shoot 5 or 6 rolls through the year.

shooting film is the only way I can take full advantage of the image circle on my MF lenses
if there had ever been a real MF digital back produced commercially I'd be using that (the unobtanium spy satellite sensor one from like the 80s doesn't count)
you just can't beat instant feedback
so instead I shoot portra, scan, treat like digital
oh also sometimes I shoot 35mm but I got the camera for free so it's basically just fucking around

Because digital is ugly.Digital cameras are soulless consumer slop and the resulting quality of the images is evidence of it. Digital isn't made for artists or anybody with a ounce of creativity. Its made for chink tourists and autists who just want to be able to show off that they have the better camera because of some meme criteria rather than the merit of their photos.I would love to shoot digital because its cheaper but it just looks so sanitised and soulless. It's bad enough the world is soulless, I don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to have my camera remind me of it every time I take a photo.
