Don't get me wrong, digital 'is' the future, theres no doubt about it. Im very much a purist, while I can see that digital has more popularity and so many good qualities, for me, nothing beats the whole film 'mechanics'. Actually having the negative (or positive), the cellulose, the chemicals, the light sensitive paper and the big clunky click you get when you press the shutter, then the anticipation of getting your prints back the next day, having to compose your shot through the viewfinder (or waist level finder which I tend to use)

Like I say, I totally appreciate what digital has done for the masses, but for me, i just love film :)

film gives good colour and contrast. but digitial is soo much faster and cheaper.

Im more than happy with my Mamiya 645, mind you, the cost of lenses alone totals £2k and the body and prisms came to over £1k at the time I'd love the RZ67 though but im not ready to trade the 645 in. They are both a real true workhorse. To be perfectly honest, I dont really trust digital cameras - too much to go wrong, I know that my mamiya will still take pictures with no battery, may I add, this is my opinion and I know there will be different views.

Only thing I found with the 3200 is the contrast is pretty weak on standard paper. I usually get it printed up on a hard grade to bring the contrast back...
