Is it worth loading a roll of film into them?

[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 398149, member: 8705"] I'm hoping to get a Fuji X100T next month, which gave me cause to look in my old camera bag for one of those screw in cable releases which I knew I had in there. This resulted in me also taking out my Pentax ME Super and Nikon F601 (N6006) which I have not used in a long time (Well over ten years). First of all I was surprised how tiny the Pentax is with the 50mm 1.7 lens fitted. This is obviously full frame and it's not that much bigger than the X100 will be. Equally the Nikon is not huge by modern standards, although I used to think it was compared to the Pentax. Apart from them being virtually worthless on the used market nowadays, I kept them as the Pentax was a 21st birthday present back in 1986 and the Nikon was bought by my father around 1991 and he passed away in 1993 when it came into my possession. So my real question is, apart from nostalgia, why would I bother to put film into them rather than use my DSLRs? I know some folks on here do still use film, but what does it give you that warrants the cost and reduced feature set? I was never as involved in photography in the film days as I am now, so I don't have any particular memories of a certain something that film had over digital. [/QUOTE]
