And what do you consider older? I see this guy and he’s about my age and his Nikon was probably made long before digital was ever offered. Like mine.
I know that nowdays, if a piece of equipment is older than 3 or 4 years, its considered obsolete.
Where are you seeing the camera and negatives? I went back to the original article and do not see the photographer with his camera.
The photo of the man on the article link appears to be Jon Tevlin, who is the author of the article. Not the photographer, who was Frank Glick.
