Well, as long as we have Polaroids.
Maybe now, with film cameras getting rarer by the minute, I will get a bid on my Canon AE-1mfilm camera on Ebay.
I have a Nikon film camera I probably won’t be able to sell.
The canon the canon.
Use more gunpowder
Have you tried to find film lately? It’s nearly disappeared.
I was into digital photography very early on (around 1991) when the quality was still crap...but people were amazed you could immediately download them and look at them.
I had a friend, an accomplished photographer who published in magazines, and he had six or seven cameras he used for different purchases.
After I showed him what you could do with Photoshop and a digital camera, he bought the highest end consumer systems he could, and over time, began using his film cameras less and less, to the point he finally just sold them all.
Heh, digital is great, I love it. I remember those days of sending all the rolls of film in those envelopes, keeping the tab to reclaim them later...:)
I must admit, the mystery of wondering just what you would get back was fun too...but I don’t miss it.
What's old is new again yadda, yadda.
Maybe the damned White House press corps will stop using those LOUD shutter cameras!!! Boy that’s aggravating!
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away......
I hate to see it go but film is definitely dead or very close to it. For a while I was hoping someone would make a breakthrough in film speed or resolution.
Instead digital has made great advances in resolution and speed. We are seeing some cameras capable of pretty much maxing out the resolution potential of most lenses plus ISO equivalent up to a million tho at that speed, resolution does suffer.
I sold an SX-70 Sonar on ebay maybe 6 or 7 years ago. I had owned it since around 1980 and was just trying to get rid of it.
I was pleasantly surprised when a guy with a Japanese sounding name bought it for just a tad over $100.
Still got an ol’ EOS Rebel in a kitchen cabinet. Poor thing has probably rusted in place.
dont worry, will make a comeback as a retro thing ...
I still have a Canon super8 movie cam somewhere....
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 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.
