Nightshade,

I disagree with your assertion that you can't get texture and grain out of digital shots. It takes some work in photoshop, but there's a more important point here: why are texture and grain superior to the alternative?

Film research has always been geared toward producing *less* grainy film emulsions. Why, now that we can shoot with zero grain, would we shift back towards grain?

I personally think that there is a time when artistically, a photographer may desire the look of film, but that doesn't make it objectively better than digital.
