are there any realistic benefits to film these days

The joy of producing a siver gelatine fine art print of
highest quality
with comparatively primitive and cheap technology, but a lot of good,
old fashioned handcraft, without any computers. I have enough computers
around me all day. Doing somthing manual without computers can be very
refreshing.
Getting the same quality the digital way will cost an order of
magnitude more. I saw very good digital prints. Shoot with nothing less
then a Leica M9, postprocessed with an expensive MacPro, printed with
an expensive Canon printer. I can get the same with less then 1/10 of
the investment. Hell, I can get more, as I shoot 8"x10" too.
And I don't need any f***ing computers to do all this. ;-)
