Prior to become a web developer I was a photojournalist (staff photog at a mid-sized newspaper) for 10 years starting right before digital started. I always loved working in the darkroom and printing but I do not miss film. Film was just... meh. Limited number of shots, bulky to carry, expense in processing, relatively primitive light sensitivity, color sensitivity, etc.
If it were up to me, for hobby purposes I would love to shoot 4x5 or 8x10 tintypes and wet plate collodion. I mean, the quality is spectacular with those processes (especially tintypes) when done perfectly. Otherwise, give me super high quality digital. I'm either going to do it (real) old school or I'm going to choose the tools that limit me the least. Nothing in between.
