Why I love film cameras and why I hate film cameras

Today was a day of contrasts. I took an old 35mm film camera out with me and spent the day using that and the old Coronet medium format camera. I was reminded why I fell in love with photography in the first place. The DSLR stayed in its bag, unused and for today unloved.

I love film.

When I got home, full of myself and remembering how great film is, I had a stark lesson in why film can also be crap.

You've probably guessed by now that I'd spent the day shooting with an empty camera!

I hate film.
