There are still a fair number of studio and advertising photographers who shoot film, but mostly medium and large format shooters. I don't think there are a great number of music photographers still shooting film.

Very, very occasionally.
Shot this a while back with my Rollei 35 ;)
(Underexposed Fuji Superia 800 and a bad scanner. Sorry 'bout that)

I like the way film does highlight transitions. I might load my Eos1n wih some high ISO film sometime...
Will be quite different from digital I think. I used to shot about 4 films a night, now it's closer to 400 exposures ::)

Tony Mott does, he's probably the best known Australian music photographer - he uses a couple of battered old Nikons.
