Just had a conversation with my family. We take about 1K pictures per year that we 'save'. Save - means that we want to keep it.

Agreement is, that if I setup Nikon 8008 or N90s with B&W film loaded, and a light weight flash light -- they will pick that up that to do some pictures, instead of their phones and the D SLR.

My goal is to get up to at least 30% pictures taken annually to be on film.
I will act as a processing lab :smile:.

I guess I was trying to get my family to use manual focus, manual everything -- and that was too inconvenient.
But auto-everything camera, with good indoor capabilities, on B&W film -- is of interest... so we will try that.

We will also leverage the Olympus IS-10 :smile:

An Dutch saying tells "Only when the calf was drowned, man closes the well" 😁

In America it's: "Closing the barn door after the horse got out."
