I think a film forum is a good idea... just "film."

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...).

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.

Can we please have subcategories, then?
I propose 35mm, 120/220, 4x5 and larger. For the obviously necessary Alternative Film Tread 110, 126 and Polaroid could be considered.
If positive film users feel repressed, or in any way left out, they could suggest a forum of their own. That way, the Nikon vs Canon debaters can happily continue with a Negative vs Positive war

Perhaps we should kick it off with at least 4 polls.

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...

Ah, sometimes it's hard to tell around here.

Yes, good sites, both of them. I've been visiting/using photo.net since Mr. Greenspun started it, and I also enjoy APUG.

I've been shooting some b&w lately and find it a welcome change from digital. I still prefer film, and especially traditional prints, for some images.

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.)

Sounds terrific to me!

I would like to see a 'film forum' here. Could we all agree to hold the 'which is better: film or digital'? I say shoot whatever makes you happy.

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.

A film forum's definitely a welcome addition... we can then start rumor threads on the Canon 1v MkII or the Nikon F7!

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?

A film forum would also be useful for us whipper-snappers who were brought up on digital, but are now seeking to reclaim our heritage with RB-67's

You wouldn't believe the response I've gotten from customers to my offering custom darkroom B&W's on double-weight fiber paper.

I agree with you, dcains. Just one forum, Film Forum period, for all.

What's film?

Isn't that the stuff you put on to protect the LCD on the back of the camera?
