Good cos I am retarded when it comes to digital and I still use film.

I have an Olympus point and shoot that is about 20 years old and works great even though I have taken it to the beach for years.

I still have my Mamiya DTL1000 and I also shoot with a digital SLR. I want to also try medium format, so I am looking for a good used Mamiya 645 or RZ67.

I have a bunch of old film cameras that I shoot with on a semi-regular basis.

Mamiya 1000 TL
Praktica MTL-5
Rolliecord something or other (forget the model)
Nikon FM2 N
Minolta XG-1
Petra 7S
Yashica Zoom Image 38-90
Minolta Freedom Dual 60
Canon AE-1 Program
DeJur Rangefinder

Probably more. I buy one every time I find it.

I’ve thought about getting a FED 50 or a Lomo or something, but I don’t shoot enough with film to justify buying another camera.

I like the look of film, and it’s fun to shoot on film, but for most of my day-to-day photography, I can approximate it closely enough in a photo editor that it is not worth it to go to the extra trouble. Most people can’t tell the difference, anyway.
