Film has only one advantage that I can think of, other than startup price. The ease of taking long exposure star trails. I used to take 9 hour exposures of the south celestial pole and other trails on slow film and they came out great. Now I know it's possible on digital but last time I checked it was a LOT of mucking about to do it. Not to mention the truck battery to keep the camera running all night. Or has it become easier these days?
