I TOTALLY understand that digital photography results in finer detail (obvious to the eye), has much greater immediacy (again obvious), and saves massive sums of money (again obvious).
Analogue is my choice though, because my photography is often of people, and it don't feel it necessary to see every hair so finely detailed. I prefer the less sharp image and 7 stop latitude available in a negative image (which still currently exceeds digital capabilities). But the most important attractions, are the image itself, and the process (the feeling of being in tunew ith the medium); much like the differences between single-speed cycling, and multi-geared cycling.
Glass choices are due to resolution requiremets, but are not as important to people that are more interested in the gradation from one tone to another, more than sharpness.
