There's film and there's film. And film cameras and film cameras. One roll may produce/enhance different artifacts and colors than the other.
But let's leave out the high end roll-cameras out and focus on cams made for motives like above. Uh, shop faces. And, just for arguments sake - ignore that with good enough camera handling you can produce very similar results. Onwards -
If it's an old film cam with a roll like yours they might pretty up a picture, as in this case above where the difference get very evident when compared to the stale and slate digital shoot.
In a sense here the film add a bit of a "filter" to the shot.
Howeverzzzz.........filters, dust, scratches, colors and artifacts can be added in Photoshop.
So, what would you rather have:
a) a picture with great original artifacts that can be saved right away, but must be salvaged to be worked into something else,
or would you
b) like a digital slate pictures that don't have the pretty artifacts but are much easier to tweak in a more exact way of how you want it.Guess it depends on what you want. Or the occasion if you have both types of camera.
