[QUOTE="stvn, post: 129371, member: 12205"] Thank you for all your comments, very interesting. I must say however that after following the prices on that famous online auction site for quality 35mm bodies and quality lens' that 35mm is far from dead. The prices for F, F2's, FM2's, FM3A is far from cheap and consistantly reaching very good prices as are the ai, ais lens'. I realise that I am only looking at a small percentage of the 35mm genre, but the market at this level is, I must say very strong. I would love to add a FM3A to my collection but they are constantly over £300 just for the body. I have only recently ventured back into film after years of using digital but I find it much more rewarding, I think it is primarly because digital is too clinical and characterless. Yes you get a good picture everytime but digital has no soul (IMHO). Each to their own but for fun days out it will be 35mm for me all the way. [/QUOTE]
