To be fair, film was and is a pain to work with. The Df is definitely aimed at a specific segment. It's a bit pretentious and nostalgic, but who cares. I guess I just don't get why people are hating on this so much. It will undoubtably take great pictures in the right hands and they'll enjoy using it...isn't that the point?

Definitely disagree, IMO, with film you had to be a better photographer, you didn't rely on, f-it, I can edit later, you didn't crop, you didn't do anything, you just took the picture better the first time.
So in that sense, getting prints made was a pain because it wasn't instant

When I shoot B&W, still do with my Nikons and Hasselblads, I develop the film myself, and I love it, yes, and that point you CAN "edit" pictures, but I for the most part have my enlarger set on +1 +2 contrast (it's a color film enlarger), and I focus the first pic, and start printing away.
Again, I guess that can be referred to as a pain, but I think it's therapy.
