If I ever have to give up film, that will be the end of photography for me. Yes, I use computers, but I don't really like them and don't wish to learn Photoshop, Lightroom or what ever. My girlfriend shoots film but scans everything on an Imacon and loads it all on to one of several large external hard drives. Then she spends hours manipulating those images and still has no prints. Not my idea of fun.

Based on the good news we are getting from some users and backed-up by Henning are the mods justified in altering this thread's title to : Is now the time to buy more film cameras? A lot would have appeared to change in about 11 months or has it as yet in sufficient numbers?

I just got worried that there will be no (affordable) new cameras available in the future, so I bought some lots at auction. Now I have enough gear that I shall always be able to shoot film. If I never use a lot of it, maybe someone else will someday. Maybe that IS hoarding; but at least, whatever happens in the new gear world, I am set. Mostly, I am indifferent to gear, as long as I can do what I want.

Amazing (and amusing) to see this old thread returning to life...

The joy of agreeing to disagree on topics such as this, cannot and should not be underestimated in these dismally dismaying climactic, economic, political and every which other way else times.
