I still shoot 35mm film from time to time. For certain personal or paid projects where I want a certain look and feel. I enjoy being able to shoot ridiculous ISO 25,600 on my D700, but I really prefer nicely done ISO 3200 B&W film, it has a different look and feel to it. I also still shoot some 6x6 (Bronica EC) and Pentax 6x7 stuff too. I still have a mini fridge in my basement full of 35mm and 120/220 film of different types.
I feel that you need to take more time composing your shots, checking you exposure, even using a hand held meter with film since if you mess up your shot, you're still going to have to pay to have it developed or spend your own time and materials developing the film to see what you have.
I still have my Nikon FE that I cut my teeth on, along with a large selection of AI/AIS Nikon glass that I still use with my full frame Nikon bodies as well as with several 35mm motion picture cameras I have that have interchangeable mounts, one of them being a Nikon mount.
