Canon vs Nikon, Mac vs Wintel, Ford vs Chevy... the more you like one, the more
you have to hate the other, no? :-)

I think it's a bit more than that. Digital and film each have strengths and
weaknesses. Those who deny that are simply in denial!
>I much prefer the results I get from film...
It may be that you work with material that better complements film, or it may
simply be that you are more comfortable and have more expertise with film.
It's good to challenge ourselves by getting out of our comfort zone from time
to time!

But that would mean people who would rather argue would have to agree on
something! :-)
