You say this as if it as a bad thing? I wouldn't be so hasty to judge. From what I have read here so far I would say that many newbie shooters could learn a thing or two from those ghosts of the past....such as how to light, the decisive moment vs shooting a short video and how to focus combined with a knowledge of depth of field....
FYI, DPR stands for DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW. As in DIGITAL. Not Film. If you want to shoot film, nobody is stopping you, but outside of rough comparison, it's discussion doesn't really belong in a digital forum. I especially gag on film afficionados coming here to rag on digital, illuminating us digital fools on how superior film is, and will always remain. This place used to be crawling with them, but thankfully, they've pretty much slithered back under their rock. Effeteluddite.com perhaps?
That a lot of them are here already because they have a consumer
Digital and visiting here gives them the opportunity to talk Lenses
in a familiar environment
their presence also gives us the "full frame" perspective on lenses
we already own and that's good with full frame DSLRs coming out
A bit of film chat never hurts - a lot of us use Film EOSes too

I'm really curious..... What is it that people who shoot film have done to you that you feel it necessary to put them down so harshly?..... just asking
What??? You were planning on telling them????
Maybe it's time to rethink your priorities. May I suggest:
I was in this forum for almost one year before I lost all sense of priorities and bought a D60. Why? Because I wanted to learn what I was getting into and mentally prepare myself for spending the big bucks.
Once upon a time, and for many years thereafter, a digital photography forum was an easy place for film photographers to evacuate their bowels, and that from great height. As a long-time digital enthusiast and forum participant, I was merely commenting on how grateful I am that the bombast has eased somewhat, so that I must no longer glance upward (backward?) in trepidation. The intention of my post was celebratory, rather than denigratory. I find this appropriate, since this is (at the risk of repeating myself) a digital forum. If my effeteluddite.com crack seemed unduly 'bombs away' on the film set, well... that's just me shaking many years of accumulation off of my person. What can I say? At least it's hitting their shoes, instead of their hat?
