If there is no longer any use for it, who would buy it? >> Stay informed about: Is there any use for film cameras anymore |

I last used my Canon Elan back in 2002, which was the last time that I shot
film. I think it comes down to whether you think the money in your wallet
will look better than the camera on your shelf. If you think you might want
to shoot film for a certain effect, or for the sake of nostalgia, then hang
onto the camera. I bought some film recently to shoot in some antique
cameras. Might run a roll through the Elan as well. Especially sine I have
a pinhole body cap on order that will fit the Elan, in addition to my 40D.

Very well, does the term 'anal retentive' ring a bell? >> Stay informed about: Is there any use for film cameras anymore |

Long Exposure - although film has reciprocity issues, it
doesn't suffer from noise in long exposures. Digital noise
can be reduced with dark-frame subtraction, but that doubles
your exposure time, so reduces the number of shots you can
get in a session.
Ultra Wide Angle (If you already have a sub 20mm lens, and
you don't do a lot of ultrawide angle, scanning 35mm frames
is a lot cheaper than buying an ultrawide lens for DX
format, or buying a full-frame DSLR - my Film camera pretty
much has an 18mm lens on it full-time now)
Art - I love the super-grainy look that Kodak 3200 B&W gives.
Some subjects are also rendered nicer IMO on film - for
example Velvia gives remarkable saturation, but still
manages to capture subtle tone differences. Things like
sunsets, flowers, machinery, IMO benefit from the Velvia
treatment. Also, personally, I prefer the way B&W films
render images vs digital B&W.
I still shoot film, but a lot less than I used to. >> Stay informed about: Is there any use for film cameras anymore |

It really depends on what you want to do. I shoot mostly digital. But just
today I got a roll of 110 film developed that I shot in my Pentax Auto 110
SLR. It's great fun to try and get something useful out of that tiny
negative, but the little Pentax SLR is a great camera to try and so with. I
also enjoy shooting medium format. I just don't (or rarely) shoot 35 mm.
any more. >> Stay informed about: Is there any use for film cameras anymore |

We just hauled out all of our old cameras to decide what to do with
older ones. Some are classics- collector's items so we will save
those just as collectables.
The only film camera I actually intend to use is an old Kodak Stereo
camera. I have a negative scanner attachment for my scanner, so can
scan the developed film and set up the cards on the computer. The
alternative if I want to take 3D pics again is to buy two cheaper
digitals and mount them side-by-side with some sort of a gadget to
depress both shutters simultaneously. >> Stay informed about: Is there any use for film cameras anymore |
