I can't really compare film to digital very well, since I have done my best images with film and shot digital only with compacts and one time a loaned D700 to shoot a ceremony for someone.
I am working hybrid - no more darkroom, though I loved darkroom work when I learned it 25+ years ago.
Working hybrid I feel I have the best of both worlds.
When I had the chance to use a loaned IQ260 on an Rm3Di for a weekend, the experience was similar than with my film cameras - tripod, careful composing, movements (I LOVE using movements) - just the real thing for me.
With this somewhat limited experience my biggest fear would be to change as a photographic mind when switching to digital.
I am already too sloppy for what I would find ideal - I fear digital would completely erode whats left from me working seriously.
On the other hand - the fast style of shooting digital also is a relief.
If I could preserve all the good parts of my inner process when shooting, I think going digital would be a no-brainer.
I still have to test film for people and street work.
I think I'll bring my Minolta 35 mm back to life to check for street work.
The longer I am pondering and moving the subject inside myself, the more my wish to shoot digital diminishes.
But I think I'll get a digital CSC as a complement for my film work, probably a Fuji X or µ4/3.
Digital speed brings out other things than film.
I think there are good reasons for both, film and digital, and these reasons are different.
