  • i'm not a fan of film for day to day use personally, it still has its uses don't get me wrong, but even on the very rare occasions I have used a film camera, I meter and get my settings spot on with my digital SLR and then just use the same settings on the film camera, it saves so much time. I think the problem as you said is that its too easy to get lazy with digital and tasks such as metering correctly, and setting the white balance with a white/grey/black card initially to make sure everything is pin point accurate before you even take the final shot are often skipped in favour of messing around in photoshop to correct discrepancies which shouldn't be present in the first place, and often degrade from the overall image quality when they have to be corrected post capture. Thats why I think its always important to get the shot as perfect as you can "in-camera" rather than relying on post production skills to compensate for inadequate technique.
