Default Do you still carry that SLR?

My Canon A-1, 50mm and 70-210 macro zoom has sat on a shelf for almost 15 years collecting dust. My daughter used them 4 years ago for a photo course, but that is it.

I've got a Nikon FE that I use with my 50mm f/1.8. It comes along every once in a while.

I actually have a bag dedicated to it, so I keep some film, the body and (when im not out shooting digital) the lens.

I still have my F65, and all my darkroom equipment save the enlarger. My partner is quite interested in black and white photography, and we're moving into a new place soon so I can see us setting a little room/cupboard aside to make a darkroom. I also found a bunch of Ilford 100 black and white rolls while packing

I have a pretty old Minolta x370 that I use about once a month and my husband has a 10 or 12 year old Rebel that he uses about once a year.

I have a mint condition Nikon FE2 with a coupe of lenses that I haven't used in years. I had it overhauled a few years ago and shot a roll but thats it.
I find digital to be much more satisfying ( wonder what my old photography course professor would say about that LOL)
He did always say that if you want a archive photo shot B&W film and it will out last anything and I think that still holds true.

My mom said there's nothing funnier than seeing me with Marjorie [Canon Rebel XT] around my neck and Batman [Minolta Maxxum 7000i] up to my eye. I probably shouldn't do that though because carrying 2 sets of gear can't be good for my back.

I have a Nikon FE2 than languishes in the bag with it lenses. Just don't drag it out any longer. Digital is far more satisfying at this point in my life.
