Is anyone still using film ?
 
I recently sold my Nikon D60 plus lenses and still have left my old Nikon F90 minus the lens, anyway I still enjoy using film cameras even though its really old fashioned now and was wondering who else is still using film ?

I've still got a nice old Praktica camera and about a dozen boxes of film for it. I should make use of them before they become useless.

Yeah, ive got a load of fuji Reala to get through as well, I think as long as its not too hot where you store your film you should be ok for a bit and if you do get any colour shift on your pics you can just tell people its art ;)

I do. I love using film, I did a photography course at college about 8 years ago and that was just before digital was becoming affordable. I really enjoyed all the dark room stuff. I've got an Olympus SLR and a zorki rangefinder which needs mending before I can get out taking some soviet style images.

Yeah me too, I did a course at st helens tech and the darkroom stuff was defo the best part of the course, seeing an image coming to life before your very eyes was magical plus all the smells of the various chemicals etc, I recently picked up a Kiev 4b form a guy who got it on a stag weekend in the Ukraine, not sure if it works or not tbh will have to do some investigating I reckon.

I still use film, still have my old darkroom kit, such a good medium :). Really should get back into it. The medium formats such as the Bronica are especially nice.
