Most halfway decent digital cameras these days have a fully manual mode, where you have to think about all three exposure dimensions - so that's not really a factor.

The big difference is that the feedback from digital is pretty much instant, and you don't have to wait for that roll of 36 to come back to realize that you forgot something super basic

I have a couple of rather nice 'legacy' Minolta lenses that I can use on my Sony a6500, with a suitable adapter. I tried to convince myself that the 'manual, purist experience' was the way to go, but in practice, I find myself rarely using them.

My Sony lenses (10-18, 18-105, 70-300), do a better job, with far less effort on my part, allowing me to focus more on the image, without letting the gear get in my way.
