For me film shot today is esoteric. I want at least a bit of grain to be perceivable simply to differentiate between digital. It's extremely difficult to duplicate the look of film with a digital camera. Certainly there are plug-ins which mimic the look, but there's something about film that sets it apart and that's what I want to achieve.

It actually compares pretty well to ISO 100 film.

It will probably be color because I don't want to go across town for Black and White.
