They will once some social media bellend makes it popular again.
funny, I asked a rellie in their mid 20's who is a professional photographer about it. "yeah it's a insta trend, i get asked a lot. I did some & similar shots on a digital camera & some Photoshop filters, everyone preferred the Photoshop versions."
I understand vinyl being popular because of the theatre, but this is like cassettes, inferior in every way.
It comes down to appreciating the process rather than just the end results. Yes, anyone can apply a filter to a digital photo to try and approximate film. But it's still an approximation versus the real thing.
Also, it can be argued that film forces you to be more thoughtful and deliberate in framing your photos, as you only have a set amount to play with.

I totally disagree. Maybe for colour, which I don't particularly like in film but B&W film is so much better than digital. I shoot both, professionally and as a hobby.
Trying to imitate film with digital is like trying imitate Dolly Parton with silicon
You don't think film has theatre? Old cameras, loading your film with only 36 shots per roll, one 'look' per roll, going down to the lab and then the excitement of getting your shots back. Many people develop at home too.
Plus it's so cool to use my dad's 45 year old camera which he was using when he was my age.
No different to vintage watches, cars or guitars. Sometimes it's nice to mix things up and have fun with stuff that isn't the latest and greatest.
He must be wrong. I'm also professional working in the industry.
It's not an insta trend, people have been shooting on film over digital because of the colours and the process.
Film emulation is good nowadays, but it doesn't equate to the real thing. This is why a lot of Hollywood DOP's will still shoot film over using digital with a film emulation, despite the much higher costs. There is something in the process.
Shooting Portra 160 with an M6 WILL absolutely get you different results to shooting on a Sony A1 with a 35mm GM and running an emulation in Photoshop.
Nothing can match an 8x10 large format neg for resolution. Even medium format is absolutely unreal in terms of detail and tonality. It's definitely not as convenient as digital but it's pretty ignorant to suggest film is interior in every way.
And besides all of that. Some people enjoy the process, regardless of perceived image quality.
I've bought from this seller before. Portra 160 is beautiful for skin tones. Probably the most 'true' colour rendering to real life.
So tempted to bring out my old entry-level Canon Rebel to shoot film again, but the cost of film, development, and perhaps digitize them in the end might just be too much work…
