Bob Offered:

"The M7 and other M's will always be stalwarts for those of us who want the
gilt-edge certificate of silver and THE Negative. There's no way of
substituting digital for the real thing."

Gee Bob I didn't know there were people still this archaic in thinking film
vs. digital any longer. I mean what constitutes the "Real Thing?" 

I'll give you the first few years of digital,  you are correct. Today?

Not on your life in today's world, economically, speed of production and
communication. I suppose if someone is dinking around over a weekend with
money to burn for film and processing, stick to film.

But in the real world of communications these days, quality of digital
printers and printing paper while shooting in RAW format with the newer
cameras, film is the way of the Pharos!
