I know Goodwill has an online auction site with a lot of awesome old cameras and all the profits go to helping people.

I occasionally shoot film when I have the money for it. I mostly use my Minolta Maxxum 7000i but sometimes I use my (1950s) Kodak Signet

From time to time, I've a nikon f and a nikon f80 some polaroid and large format stuff

The fm10 isn't made by nikon directly, it's outsourced. Lots of plastic. It's usable for sure, but it's no fm2n or fm3a

I just picked up a F5 and am about to pull the trigger on a Mamiya RZ67 medium format kit as well. I love film and have every intention of sticking with film alongside digital. What I really need/want to do now is learn to develop and correct my own stuff. That way I know what I'm sending out when I need lab prints done. I have had a pretty good response to senior portraits this year and want to add new options for next year....

I still shoot film fairly often. I have a Nikon FA, a Olympus OM10, and a Canon EOS A2. I generally take at least one with me everytime I go to shoot with a digital camera.

All my film cameras and lenses are collecting dust, locked away in a hugh gun vault. I don't think I'll ever get around to shooting that 500 plus rolls of color negative film stored in my freezer.

No, but I wouldn't mind having a film camera. I think it would be fun to use from time to time.

I'm considering buying something like a Nikon EM as a backup and also to try out with Kodak Tri-X film.
I do want to learn how to develop film someday

Jim that's a lot of film



If you ever decide to give them away I'll be in first in line

Really, I'm about ready to put them in bags of 20 and sell on Craig's List or eBay. I really don't foresee ever shooting film again, unless I won the lottery to pay for the processing.
