[QUOTE="crashton, post: 129768, member: 13133"] [b]Re: Future of 35mm film cameras (AD 2013) & a bit of thread drift....[/b] Those were the days. I wonder how many gallons of that stuff I've mixed over the years & how many thousand feet of TriX I've rolled, then shot. I developed a sensitivity to darkroom chemicals after many years of using them. Sadly I had to give up my darkroom. Started having a local lab soup my negatives & scan them onto a disk. That worked, but I had continual problems with the lab scratching the negatives. It was so frustrating that I stopped shooting for a while. The holy grail of a digital film cartridge that would drop in to the back of my Nikon looked promising, but never materialized. Then digital cameras started becoming available. No megabuck Kodak DSLR's for me. Just a little Canon S20. It was a crappy camera that took photos & didn't need film processing. I was happy to be shooting pictures again. Fast forward a year or so & I bought my first DLSR. A Fuji S1 Pro, aka Frankencamera. Remember those? A Nikon N60 with Fuji guts jammed inside. Since I still had my Nikon film kit all of those lenses were usable on the Fuji. I was in Hog heaven. Been though a few DSLR's over the years & now I have a D7000. Possibly a D7100 in a few months. Sorry about the thread drift..... :o I miss my old film cameras & hope film keeps being made for a long time to come. I have my doubts about that though. My only film camera is my Dad's Nikon FE.
