How many of you still have your old Film Camers?

Just interested in how many on here still have kept their film cameras?
Due to resale or nostalgia reasons.

Have kept my old A1 with MA Drive and lenses + A 620.

I have my dad's old AE-1program and my old EOS630.

I still have, and use my EOS 3 and 1N.

I still have one of them collecting dust, I gave the other away.

I still have my Elan 7e,and I will never sell it. As much as I love digital, I still love film. After all, I still have my darkroom and I like to use it. But that is only for my own pleasure. I understand the future (actually, the present) of photography is digital, and I love it too.

Yup! I can't bear to get rid of them

Have ... yes.
Use ... not really.
Sometimes I fire a few frames without film on my old 100% manual M42 camera and enjoy the feel, look, and sound of it.

Best regards,
Andy

I still have
- an old polaroid (never use - should get rid of)
- A Canon AV-1 (never use these days - really should get rid of, but have some memories attached
- A Hasselblad 500 EL/M lunar edition (use on rare occasions - keeping this collector's item.
- A Canon EOS-3, actually bought it after my 1DsMkII as I am taking some photography classes to improve my skill and they insist on film for some of the classes.

Mostly I hang onto them because I am a pack rat, but am getting closer every day to parting with the two older ones, along with a lot of other electronics that are out of date or don't work.

Still have AE-1, still break it out once in a blue moon, mostly just to acuate shutter.

Hi ,

you may be interested in this thread which is all about old ( and treasured ) cameras which some members still have hanging around

https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=33203


I still have my old Minolta X-300
70-210 zoom , 50mm1.7 and super paragon f=28 macro 1.2
all in very good shape but I think 'fog' builds up in the lens after a certain length of time

+ have the Pentex zoom compact.
also an old Kodak brownie which my brother left me when he went to Australia many years ago when I was a tiny tot

I don't know what I done with a great little Kodak instamatic which I had before all those others
( all except the brownie)


welcome to the forum

Yep, I use most of them. Here is a pile of cameras My equivalent of a junk drawer...

Traded my old Minolta years ago but now have my Dad's Minolta X-700 and we still have my hubby's old Nikon. I was thinking of picking up a EOS 650 but then thought, why, I never shoot the other film cameras. Though it would be nice to have the felxibility to shoot film with the EF lenses I have and will acquire over time.

I still have Elan IIe with grip with 28-105 & 20-35 both non L - just have not gotten around to selling them

Still have Canon AT-1, Contax 159MM, Yashica FX-3, Exakta, Rolleiflex, and a waterproof camera. The waterproof camera will have some actions if I go snorkeling this summer. Still keeping these cameras since I won't get much $ anyway if I sell them on eBay.

I have an old 2º hand AE-1 and a EOS 300. I still use the EOS 300 to shot some B&W pictures with Ilford HP5!
