I have pretty much gone the other way. Digital was just a little too much for me and my arthritis is pretty bad especially the right thumb. Had shots in both thumbs but only fixed the left,the right got worse. So I sold all my Nikon equipment and dug out an old Leica M3 and bought a Voightlander 21mm f4 for it ( I had sold all my leitz lenses some time ago and my M6's). Bought some Fuji film and returned to a great feeling. Mostly today it's just snapshots in any case. Have tried a friends M8 and I like it pretty well too and solves the film problem. You don't feel you are carrying anything. If I could walk over 100yds I would think I had done a long hike so wildlife is pretty much out so I'm back to my old favorites ,landscapes and architectural shots. It's satisfying. Getting back to Leicas is a good feeling.
Some of the new Fujis would give you similar benefits at a fraction of the cost.
