I think I'll go shoot some Velvia.

Those were beautiful, weren't they? Brings back fond memories, --the sound they made, the clicking motion of winding the film, and the slight shake when the shutter opened. Almost sad to see them go.

I believe that Nikon had already announced that the F6 would be their last professional film camera. They aren't going to stop making them, but there will be no F7.

I used to have a Nikon FM2, and I loved having a camera that was mechanical. Between it and a sekonik incident light meter I carried around (and the wide latitude affored by Tri X Pan), I loved taking photos for my school papers (in college). I sold it a few years ago, and don't really miss it. If I want to use film, I still have my Olympus OM2n. But I love my Nikon D70s. Digital is fun too, but I miss the exposure latitude.

Still serving me extremely well about 23 years now & counting. Although, I do look forward to picking up a digital SLR soon.

I gave away my 25 year old Canon AE1 to my photographer daughter. She loves it. It looks very much like your posted picture. I have a two year old Olympus digital camera that is just fine for my purposes. Less weight, less bulk, I can carry it in my purse everyday. Hard to do that with the old Canon AE1. Things sure have changed.

I've got a Nikon F100. I love it. Digital cameras have made incredible strides lately, but you can buy professonal quality film SLR bodies for pennies on the dollar at present.

What do you do when that $2,000.00 digital goes on the blink? How much will it cost to fix?
