p.1 #1 · Anyone use a film camera as part of their toolkit?
I'm deciding whether adding an autofocus 35mm film camera or a Pentax 67 camera to my toolkit. Pentax 67 would bring amazing subject separation, but do i need to worry about manual focusing?

Having shot film professionally since the late 80's and literally hundreds of weddings, I wouldn't go back.
Focusing isn't really an issue. Subject separation has nothing to do with the camera. It's all about the focal length, aperture used, and distance from the background. Try a short telephoto (85mm) wide open.
In my own opinion (others may differ), there's no advantage going backwards to film, along with the expense that comes with it.
