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. Still stuck on 35mm Dick |

Still stuck on 35mm Dick 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. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Still stuck on 35mm Dick 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" Ken Hart |

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

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. Still stuck on 35mm Dick 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. -- Michael |

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. -- Pete |

snip 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. Dick |
