Should I go fully digital? The monochrome dilemma that every film shooter faces

Leica MP.

Should I just buy a black-and-white camera and ditch film? This winter, the thought has been gnawing at me more than ever. I’ve spent nearly two years shooting more film than digital, embracing the process, the imperfections and the hands-on involvement that analog photography demands.

But when the colder months arrive, the romance of it all starts to wear thin. The long nights in the darkroom, pushing the film to its limits, scanning negatives – it all feels more like a chore than the passion it is in the warmer months.
