[QUOTE="STM, post: 797708, member: 12827"] I [I]STILL[/I] shoot a lot of film, mostly black and white with the Hasselblad, because the quality is as good as it gets, but I still use my 35mm. I have quite a 35mm stable; FTn, F2, F4E, FA, FE2, Nikkormat FT3 and Nikonos V. And none really sit on the shelf and collect dust except the Nikonos because I have not been diving in a while. Just this past weekend I went out and shot some nature stuff with my venerable FTn, my very first Nikon back in 1974 along with the D700 and D300. A fellow who was also shooting there asked me what camera I was using. He was about my age and was shooting Nikon so I was a little surprised when he did not recognize the iconic Nikon F. He was even more surprised to learn that I not only still shot film but processed and printed all of my stuff as well, both color and black and white.
