Besides me, how many folks in this NG are still using 35mm film?
 

Just curious.
When I get the film developed I'll get prints, negatives and the
photos on a CD. I've loaded photos from my digital camera onto my
PC and copied those files onto a CD for backup ... and maybe,
someday, I'll get some of them printed.

I threw in the towel over three years ago.
My 3 x 35mm cameras (Pentax x 2, & Yashica electro 35) are nostalgic
fixtures of my past.

I think if it were a competition, I could be more "stuck on 35mm" (or film
and darkroom) than most others!
I maintain both a color and B&W darkroom, capable of handling 35mm up to
4x5, and printing up to 30"x40" prints.
My refrigerator typically contains 40-60 rolls of 120 film, 75-100 rolls of
35mm, and a couple boxes of 4x5 film. Also, a roll of 4"x575', 5"x575', and
8"x575' color print paper. (And a case of beer, a head of lettuce, a couple
of tomatoes and carrots!)
As to cameras, in the studio is a 4x5 view camera, three medium format
cameras, 360 35mm camera bodies and 550 various lenses.
Yeah, I think I'm pretty much committed to "the Dark(room) Side"

Me too. Main cam is a Canon A-1, though I also use various rangefinder
cameras as well.

Somebody keeping score here?

Me.
I have a D5000 now which is nice.
But for the ideal pictures I use my venerable Nikon F (manual focus,
handheld incident meter) and TriX for B&W or Kodachrome (still have 1
1/2 rolls to go, cutoff date being December 30) or Ektachrome, or my
Pentax 6x7. I just picked up a non-AI Nikkor 43-86 zoom for under $30
on ebay. Don't remember how many hundreds of 1970 dollars that glass
cost back in the day. It is a gorgeous lens, does not need to be
refocused when zoomed, and keeps its max f/3.5 over the zoom range.

One of the reasons I got the D5000 instead of the D90 is that the 5000
(and NOT the 90) will take the manual non-AI lenses (in full manual
mode), which means my 50mm f/1.4 functions as a very fast short
telephoto.

But that new 43-86 is a great walking around lens.

Although I mainly shoot digital, I still use my Nikon FM2 and Pentax
ME Super, and occasionally a Canon compact. I mainly use Ilford XP2
Super amd Fuji Superia 200 or 400, though I've recently been trying
Kodak Ektar 100 with impressive results. I get 6x4 prints and high
res scans on CD, which I sometimes edit digitally and make 8x12 prints
from.

I shoot about 1 or 2 rolls per month.

One can never have too many lenses!

Only too many to carry around all at once.

In answer to the OP's question: I've started using 35 mm film again.

I use 35mm film occasionally, and weather and UPS permitting will
do so this weekend to test drive a 24-120mm f/4 Nikkor.

Good luck and let us know how it went. You may end up liking that lens.

Everybody tells me to go digital, but when did they ever tell the guy
driving a '57 chevy that he should get an Accord?

Oh the memories. 1957 Chev with a 283ci / 283hp fuel injection engine.
If a person had one of these cars in pristine condition, it would be
worth 5 Accords.
