Well, seeing everything here, I must ask... does anyone here still use film? I myself have a fine little digital camera... but even it it is a real nice little Nikon, honestly, my little Kodak Brownie works better.. I could blow an old 620 negative up to poster size long after the digital goes to a haze. However, how about Polaroids, (You know, the old, clunky, boxy device of the 1940's to the 2000's?) Heh, I love them! I just had to ask, I still see 35mm in service sometimes... I love 120 myself.. nothing like some Ilford PanF! Of course, i I only use them for important things... The Nikon is for anything 'unimportant'.

I take a classic photography course in school (we have a dark room) so yes, I do film photography and I absolutely love it. I recently bought a Zenit 122K at a lomography store with 35mm black and white film and I'm absolutely loving it. Still getting used to having to adjust the aperture and shutter speed, since I'm more accustomed to automatic film cameras, but it's really exciting. I get a satisfaction out of developing negatives and prints that I don't get from digital photography.

Lucky devil... I wish our COUNTY did anything like that.. I hear that is a fine little camera, I looked at one myself. I really prefer my old Rollei and Laica's though. Iconic, built like a brick, and make lovely pictures! I'm getting an old Revere 88 movie camera ready next!

I use 35 in photo class, and I have a 120 film camera but I've yet to develop any 120mm rolls in the darkroom
