It was the inconsistent results I got from film whihc was part of the factor in limiting my enjoyment of photography before digital came along. That and having to (and invariably failing to) finsih a film before processing and then the costs invovled in doing so.

I had briefly though about shooting black and white film with my old F80, but can't see myself ever doing so again. I have a finished roll of Kodak 400TX sitting in it as I type, the last shot I took cFeb 2007. I do like the qualities of B&W film, but the cost and trials of processing are still too much to tempt me.
