i luuuuv the surprise if film. well, maybe i wouldnt really say "the surprise", but more like the "delayed satisfaction of film". being fortunate enough to have a couple of cameras (mostly old, mid quality, non-meter-functioning cameras), it may take me months to get through a roll of film. its refreshing to say the least.
i should also note that I havent bought film since the summer of 2004 when i bought an ass load of film before heading to brazil, just to be robbed 2 rolls into shooting. so, nothing is cross-processed or anything like that, its just 6-year-old film that 's been to BR and back and has called numerous refrigerators home.
