people practicing film photography ?
i enjoy using old DLR, SLR, Rangefinder
my favourites are
Yashica 124G for 6x6 reversible film
Semflex for 6x6 B&W
Minolta Dynax 7 for reversible 24x36
And a very nice rangefinder Yashica electro 35 GSN for negative color film
i like to use them on holidays, it's a real pleasure to discover photos fews days / weeks later
And i love to play with a pinehole camera home made

Lovely! We collect film cameras (it just sort of happened) but haven't had much time for photography since the kiddos were born. (Aside from about 10,000 phone pictures of the kids, of course.) My favorite in operation is our Argus C3 rangefinder which was a wedding gift to my wife's grandparents and still takes beautiful pictures. A few years ago I picked up a TLR which I've been dying to try out but I think it takes 620 film, so I'll need to see if I can make something fit or reroll some 120. (I think...it's been a few years!)

By coincidence, I'm selling a 35mm SLR for my brother. In its day, his Olympus OM1N was supposed to be a leading camera in its field. Within 30 mins of putting it on eBay it attracted two bids raising it from £30 to nearly £60. There still seems to be a lot of interest in film cameras these days.
