Since i've been interested in photography which is not much more than 3 or 4 years ago, i've been intrigued with the learning process. Everybody seems to point out that film is much better to learn, since thinking is crucial before shooting, not only because frame limit is an issue but also because there's no preview of the shot. It seems to me that this can also be an obstacle - there may be fear of wasting film and therefore not take a shot (even more now that film is starting to disappear), and it's difficult remembering which settings were used in each shot. The simplicity of film cameras also demands for a more straightforward approach. And let's not forget the anticipation of waiting for the shots to be revealed.
I have almost none experience with film, have only shot a couple of rolls with an SLR, and some hundred photos with a Canon G7, so i don't really have an opinion.
What do you think?
