I have a Bronica ETRSi that I still use from time to time. I also have three 35mm Nikons. The 35mm cameras don't get used much these days. However I still have 10 rolls of 35mm Kodak High Speed B&W Infra-red film in the fridge. It's now as rare as rocking horse sh*t and can produce amazing landscapes. | |

I still love my film camera, still have my first Nikon f75 (not that old I know, but I got it when I was 17!). I still regularly use b&w and slide for colour, although admittedly for any general or even semi pro use I do use my digi... But when possible, I'll still take em both | |

ALWAYS FOR B&B .....though i.ve had younger models who get ratty when they can't get instant prints. | |

To get over this when I'm using film I always take some digital images for those that want 'instant gratification'
Then if i say the film images will take a while she is still happy

I am still a great believer in 35mm film, I also use digital as well, for more creativity perhaps?..maybe not! Usually I have the films processed only, then transferred to disk (CD) or SD media, or for more sensitive material I develop it myself, then put it on my 3 in 1 copier and scan the negatives to PC or disk or just print the contact sheet onto Acetate- clear sheet, which I can then use in my darkroom, to enlarge from. I am just setting up a new darkroom in my boiler house, where it nice and warm for the chemicals, and me! On the plus side, 35mm equipment is cheap, although there are reliability issues to consider, but you cannot beat a 35mm manual slr (the ones that work at all speeds without batteries- just using a handheld light meter (just picked up a Sekonic meter for a £fiver off ebay)). The great thing with using a light meter, is you can get a more accurate subject- related exposure setting, ie, close up skin-tone readings, that sometimes digital misses (yes I realise you can use digital wizardry to post- fix the image, but that takes the fun out of it). I am hoping to start up a 35mm only devotee camera club in Cumbria/ Southern Scotland, watch this space. (I am quite new to this site as a profiled member, but are there any photo meets on here in the north west? or photographers. Currently I am looking for lady or couple, with longer hair- hopefully, who might like to pose for a Goth/ Darkside/ Watersports / fun with food enthusiasts/ Nudism etc calendar, that I want to produce, for personal satisfaction only! you understand. So if there is anyone out there that can help, please let me know or wants to become friends let me know- I am genuine and a bit unconventional..)thanks sprocket33 | |

I loathe and detest digital, film does it for me. I'll happily spend whole days in the darkroom printing. If anyone has any old film-based kit they'd be happy to part with I'd be glad to hear about it. |
Who still uses film on occasion or are you completely wedded to digital? I still have two film cameras but very rarely use them these days even though they were great to use in the past. I keep meaning to get out for a 'retro' shoot some day
