Film has incredible richness and depth. The images last hundreds of years longer compared to inkjet quality inks. It can take up to 3 bracketed RAW digital files to achieve the same sort of tonal range you can get with some films. The dynamic range in film is higher, and those little imperfections in film is what makes it so unique. Shooting film helps you learn the basics, you have to learn what each part of the camera does before taking the picture. When using film you have to be as precise as possible when taking pictures to keep from wasting film. Digital cameras are limited to a built in number of pixels, rolls of film are only restricted by the quality of the scanner that captures it. Film is more sensitive and better at handling grain. Transparency films reproduce a far wider gamut than any digital display or print medium. Film is always sharp and there's no need for resharpening.
