It is my preferred medium. My wife owns a digital camera that I purchased for her but it holds very little interest for me. I really like to do my own printing in the darkroom. I don't want to get home from work at night to get back onto a PC. I enjoy using both my M and R cameras, Leica glass although expensive, is worth it to me. You are not alone. Regards, Greg
