>>2634374All true. Film is also fun to process and fun to peep w/ a cellphone light-panel app. There's a lot of straight-up craft to darkroom printing as well, and extreme film scanning can be just as much a dark art.
That being said, digital is a lot more convenient. Film however teaches you a lot about the essence of photography, without chimping or having dead-on reliable autoexposure every time. It also teaches you to own your mistakes and to get better. You'll be able to put some ideas from Ansel Adams' "The Negative" into practice without having to adapt the exposure method to digital.
All of these good things about film can be read as reasons why digital is better. Well maybe not the exposure. Whatever.
