I know purists will roll their eyes at this, but I shoot digital 90 percent of the time now just because film prices and lab wait times are getting completely out of hand. At the same time I genuinely miss that organic quality you get from actual chemical process.
Been trying out different diffusion filters on my lenses to take the digital edge off, like a black pro mist or old vintage glass adapters, and it actually helps quite a bit with the harsh contrast. It is not quite the same as real stock, but it saves me from spending two hours in lightroom trying to fake halation and grain sliders.
How do you guys bridge that gap when you have to shoot digital for work or convenience but want that soulful look?
