yeah, that will stem the torrent of "which film is better" threads... hahaha... I guess it will cut the bi-weekly single "which film camera to use with Canon lenses" threads, but what's the point? I think film processing questions are already covered well enough on photo.net, rangefinderforum.com etc... but if the people here want it... doubt I'll hang out there (even if I do sell my digital and only shoot film...).

I think a film forum is a good idea... just "film."
well, there are film shooters here as well... who want to discuss modern equipent, while most the film oriented places are geared toward classic mechanical cameras... Leicas etc... which are all fun as well, but when you discuss new Canon gear this place is a great rumour mill and nit picking place to hang out.

Sorry, but IMHO that's a silly idea. Film is film, and the principles which apply to 35mm also apply to 120, large format, etc. With multiple forums I'd surely miss something which might prompt me to try something new, and really how many divisions do we need here?
Okay - so I'm not funny. I WAS trying to be sarcastic...
The idea of a film forum seems to be welcomed and it probably should be film rather than gear driven when appropriate....however....what is the process for starting a new forum?
In the past I have tried to add a particular lens to the Review section and got nowhere...not even a refusal.....just no response at all
this would definitely be a one stop shop with those mixed in..get your advice/knowledge on the the latest and greatest digital technology(Digital Forum), learn the art of film(Film Forum), and get everyone's opinions as why they use what lens to shoot what (Lens Forum.)
I'm all for a Film Forum too. I miss talking about colors & emulsions. Film, takes us back to the roots, in which many of us got started as photographers.
Agreed with you on Film Forum. I still shoot film sometimes but I don't develop, process or print my self, I take it to Processing Lab. But the forum will still be good. But is should just be one forum for all Film Shooters not seperates for like Nikon, Canon, Pentax, etc.

A lot of digital shooters still use film as well...for a variety of reasons. Any reason why a film forum dedicated to all things film wouldn't be a useful addition to this site?
I agree with you, dcains. Just one forum, Film Forum period, for all.
