I have an anecdote, I believe from Herbert Keppler's column in Modern Photography from the early 1980s. A newspaper sports editor was complaining to him about the work of his photographers. He said, "Back when they carried Graflex 4x5s, I could send a guy to a game with 5 plates of film and he would come back with 5 usable shots. Now with motorized 35mm cameras, they shoot several rolls at a time and often come back without a single usable shot."

How terribly terribly hipster.As someone who grew up with film photography and spent many an hour in the darkroom, I say 'give me digital, any time!'But, to restore some of the admitted magic of film photography, I've long thought that, if I was a decent coder, I'd produce a camera app where the images only appear several days after you press [or tap] the shutter. Thus recapturing a bit of the mystery of not having that instant review of what you've just shot and of having to wait a while for the prints to arrive.[If anyone who is a decent coder wants to nick that idea, I'll take 25% commission, Cheers!]
