When Was The Last Time You Used Film?

Then she asked me to sell my film cameras I have stored in the gun vault. Which has one Nikonios V, four Canon F-1's bodies (mid 70-s to early 1980's), two Canon F1N-s with motors (1987 models), a 24mm f1.4, 85mm f1.2, 135mm f2.0 and a 300mm f2.8 with 1.4 extender stored in a halliburton case. I still kept one EOS 1 V 35mm film body I purchased in 2001. You'll never know when someone wants a job shot on film is my answer and I'm sticking to it Then again I might sell the stuff on Ebay or Craigs List to get her off my back. She's been in the cleaning out the garage mode again. Last time she did this, she gave away all my darkroom equipment, which was stainless steel 35mm developing reel and tank, stainless steel trays for processing prints up to 16 x 20, a Beseler 21/4 to 35mm enlarger, film and paper dryers, all those Ilford film and paper developing chemicals and tons of photo papers ranging from 8.5 x 11 to 16 x 20. All this happened when I departed on a month-long photo assignment and wasn't around to watch the stuff. Now, that I'll be departing for three weeks from 12 Feb to 4 March to work on the POYi contest, once again my stuff will be unguarded. But, this time I'll take the key to the locks with me

Jim: I'll be glad to come up and spend some time at your home to guard the gear. As long as your wife doesn't mind.

Interesting. I last used film about 2 weeks ago.

I finished a roll of b&w 120 (I think it expired before I was born, thanks granddad!) in my Holga last week, and now there's a new roll. Colour this time. I have 4 rolls of film on my dresser waiting to be developed.

I recently got my granddad's film SLR, but most of my film shooting is in novelty cameras. I think this year I'm going to start taking my Holga on shoots.

I took a BW class in 2007, the motor on my N80 died at the end of the class, and I never really did anything else with it.
