Why Film Habits Don't Automatically Transfer to Digital

The real lesson here isn't about film vs digital — it's that intentionality is a discipline, not a feature of your camera. Film shooters who go digital often lose their edge not because the gear is worse, but because abundance kills discipline. If you're a film shooter considering a digital day out, treat every 36 frames like they cost you money — because the habits that made your film work good don't come free with the sensor.
