What is it with people that shoot on film?
Film is expensive to film, develop and scan.

Yet what do they do? They film the most mundane bullshit.
Traffic lights. Or some mediocre bullshit to some obscure indie song.

Why do they all do this?

If you're gonna spend hundreds of dollars. Atleast film something good. But it's like they think the vintage aesthetic will make their shit good.

It's like they just want to see what their mundane boring life would look like on film.

most retarded thing about filmfags is that they scan the negatives. many of those fags send the film off to a lab and dont even want the negatives back. they just want the digital scans lol
that's a prime example of mental ilness

Certain color films are designed for scanning. I scan my negatives to keep a digital contact sheet of them and also print my negatives.

Definitely stupid to not want your negatives.

I absolutely think 90% of people shooting film here and beyond are just hipster faggots and/or people who want to distance themselves from the problems of digital and can't afford a top-end DSLR/MILC.
And yet, OP is a massive faggot and should gargle dicks instead of making threads.
Who cares if people like doing a thing. That's all it really comes down to.

because it's fun

did you guys forget that photography was supposed to be fun?

this is one of my favorite systems I own and it makes everything look like a vintage postcard, I don't care I can do it in digital, this is more fun. people always ask you about it and it's a great conversation starter.

go outside and enjoy shit you fucking spergs

>did you guys forget that photography was supposed to be fun?
This entire board minus the maybe 6 or so anons I've noticed, they all would rather bitch about gear than actually enjoy photog. This is a gear board and nothing is going to change that as long as the mods refuse to add more rules.

The most fun I've had with photography is when I forget this site exists. Posting shit here is ancillary, and it's the only healthy way to treat this board.

A naked chicked swimming in the river asked me what my view camera was. I think she got uncomfortable when I told her it was a camera. It was on a tripod without a lens.

Missed opportunity

I was with my gf. She loves my photography, but that would have probably been crossing the line lol
