Do you still use Film Photography in Archaeology? (update)

Five years ago I posted a poll regarding digital vs film photography in archaeology. I’m finally publishing a lot of my writing about photography (I know, I know!) and I’d like an update on this poll.

Please take a moment to fill it out & share!

  1. I’d think the sheer usefulness of digital photographs in being able to reference, copy, and transfer outstrips any nostalgic value of film photography.

  2. I am not an archaeologist. However, I do shoot monuments, and I often shoot them using B&W film.
    I use digital and film cameras. However, it is very difficult to have them repaired
