I still have my original 35mm Canon AE-1 somewhere. I’ve thought of resuscitating it for use as a second camera for nature shoots.

I remember those days. Used a Kodak DC Brick every day at work.

I purchased a new Nikon D5600 this year and learning to get the most out of it.

I still own a Nikon film camera and all of the lens I purchased work very well with the new digital Nikon.

I had some left over 35mm film - had to be at least 10 years old and shot some of it. Processed at Walgreen’s and the photos came out great just as they used to.

Many professional photographers shoot both digital and film.

Lots of film on Amazon and Walmart.

I would get back into using and developing film but I am retired and don’t have any time,

LOL...DC-Brick...that is about the extent of it! But dang, it was so good to have instant gratification.

Now, everyone has it...I should be happy, I have a whole generation of people who took their cues from me on this!

But for some reason...it has cheapened photography for me...knowing I can take as many images as I want, a few will come out good, the rest get tossed...you know how that game is played...:)

Maybe the damned White House press corps will stop using those LOUD shutter cameras!!! Boy that’s aggravating!

You can bet they're all digital cameras. That loud sound isn't the shutter, (well, it is, a little bit,) but the mirror moving up, out of the way for the shot, then back down. Digital SLRs make the same noises, with the exception of mirrorless cameras.

Court and close-in nature photographers usually used Leica rangefinder cameras, which were nearly silent.

I had 2 camera bodies, an Olympus OM2n and a Nikon FM2. I used the Nikon primarily for outdoor and sports photography, while the Olympus was used as a "snapshot" camera, and its OTF metering was really excellent, especially with flash photography. I also relied on an incident light meter even more than the internal Nikon meter, though I left the Olympus on program mode, most of the time.

I had a 50mm prime lens for each, all my other lenses were Tamron Adapt-All lenses, with a couple of Olympus and Nikon mount rings.

Great cameras, but to be honest, I really like my 6MP Nikon D-70s better. While it's a dinosaur, it takes great photos to about 5x7.
