Ok first off, lets not get this to become a digital vs. film thread. They are pointless and tend to derail fairly quickly.
But making fun of someone for using a film camera just shows the ignorence of the person. Only workshop i've attended where one guy had a film camera, the other people were impressed rather than scornful. "Wow, i would never dare doing that, how do you know that you got the image?" "I look through the viewfinder when i press the button"
To use a film camera today (and especially if you are a new photographer) shows in my opinion a dedication to the craft of photography. It's removing the training wheels of digital and diving head first into the deep end of the pool. Mistakes are recorded and you cannot reformat the card and try again so you have to take care of every single shot, making sure it becomes as good as possible.
Tbh, if i could shoot only on polaroids (or have a dedicated assistant who don't mind spending the shoot inside the darkroom) and have a free supply of film i wouldn't mind shooting all my stuff on film. Though today i only shoot medium and large format on film, 35mm is 99.9% digital (though i AM about to shoot a bit of underwater fashion on B&W film ;D
And i must say, shooting large format cameras is infinitely more fun (in my opinion) than shooting digital small (35mm) format. sure, it can't be used for everything, but thats not the point. It's just fun cameras to shoot with and it feels like you went back in time to a different era. And yes, i wish i had the money to shoot collodial glass plate cameras aswell, a bit weird like that ;D
