Good is... 

the appreciation of a developed photograph from the preferred film  

Why?

1/ Once you've successfully developed the photographs from the chosen film you have a far greater appreciation of the final image compared to that of a digital one. It's really satisfying to see your image appear on the photographic paper after you've gone through the process of using and developing your film.

2/ Transparency films reproduce a far wider gamut than any digital display or print medium.

3/ Film produces sharper photographs with a greater resolution.

4/ It's photography at it's purest form. There's no need for computers or editing.

5/ With film being the traditional photographic method, it's important to encourage and uphold the process, when statistics show that 82% of camera owners use digital cameras.
