When is the time to shoot film, and when is it time - to shoot digital?

Do you still shoot both? ... Why? ... Are you still not convinced digital is better? .... Or do you just like the look of prints from film, as opposed to digital?

Yes, I still shoot film, 75% of the time to 25% digital.
Yes I do think film is better, if done correctly.
Of course, this is just my own opinion.

Better is subjective. Film has a place and I personally think it inspires better creativity. I compose better notes and letters when I use a fountain pen vs taping a computer keyboard. Preferences are personal.
As for the “time” to shoot film vs digital, if your watch has hands and no battery then it’s time to shoot film.

I'd shoot more film if Kodachrome if it still available.
I have a great idea, Nick ... let's start a petition ... and when we have a 1000 names, we'll send it to Rochester, asking Kodak to reinstate Kodachrome!!!!
Are you game?

In other words, FM ... all the time!!!!
But, I see you have a D810 ... that's digital - no?
Where's all your film cameras, if you are so insistent - film is better?

I still shoot film and this year's resolution is to shoot more. It's been pretty evenly split between digital and film. Each has its strong points and each its weaknesses when compared. So, the approach is, even though a wood screw can be pounded into a board with a hammer, it works better if done with a screwdriver. Likewise, I'll use the appropriate tool when photographing.

I’m much more of an Ektachrome person

Good point. I have a Nikon F5 not on the list. I truth not used often but I will add it to the profile. And perhaps you have inspired me to pick up, load it with film I keep in he fridge and take some pics. Thanks!

The time to shoot film is any time before 2010.
The time to shoot digital is any time after 2010.
Nikon discontinued most of its film cameras in 2006, and by 2010 was just producing the F6. While not officially discontinued, their last production run may have been 2014, and while it's still listed by Nikon, it is currently unavailable. However, I have only owned one Nikon film camera, and it was not an SLR.
Kodachrome went out of processing in 2010. They took my Kodachrome away. End of story.
Actually, I shot mostly Ektachrome because who could afford fast lenses back then? And by back then, I mean back when I shot film. I personally quit shooting film before 2000.
