I don't shoot film anymore because there's gelatin in the film and I don't care for that one bit.

At a certain level of hobby, the aesthetics are personal preference and it more becomes ergonomics and - very important - lenses! A lot of old glass is on mounts that are a pain (or impossible) to mount on most cameras.

So this can let you use cameras and lenses you assumed were done for good, if you got off the film train.

PS: I'm also not sure why the image would be that bad? M4/3 is a wonderful sensor that caught gorgeous images. With old glass that has character, it could be real neat!

I have several old lenses that are much easier to shoot on digital because they have a flange distance too short for an SLR (e.g. industar 69).
