Do you find having to carry cameras of totally different recording medium a hassle and need getting use to ?

kelccm said:For me, my film SLR is very light, so there isn't much weight difference. Of course, when I using film, I will pay more attention to prevent underexposure. And when using digital, I'll pay more attention to prevent overexposure.
I find that using film once in a while is good as it helps to slow you down and makes you think more about each shot. I will really pay much more attention to my metering and composition, and thats why you can really test out how much you have learnt. Of course most of the time I will use digital.
My widest lense right now is only 19-35, so most of time I will use the 19-28 range on my film camera.
