    Your last 35mm SLR

    What was your last 35mm SLR that you used/bought before you went digital?

    Mine was the Nikon F100 back in 2002. It was a solid, well-handling camera. I still have it but unfortunately, it has just been gathering dust during the past several years.

    Mine was a Nikon N80 that I bought in 2003. I love it. Like your F100, it's gathering dust.

    Mine was the F5 bought in 2002. I don't like it very much so now I use mainly an F3HP.

    When I bought my first digital camera, I was still shooting film. When I bought my second digital camera, I was still shooting film. At the time I was using Minolta SRTs and a Minolta XD-11. After I bought my Agfa ActionCam, I bought my Minolta Maxxum 800 and Maxxum 9. All of those, for one reason or another, are the last 35 mm film cameras I used.

    Last film Camera I used would be my Minolta Maxxum 7000. Actually I have 2 of the Minolta Maxxum 7000's, a Minolta Maxxum 5000, a Maxxum 300si, and I just got rid of a Maxxum 8000i, a 5000, a 7000, and a Maxxum 7. Last time I used any of the ones I currently own... yesterday. Have a couple of rolls that need to be developed actually right now. One each from the 7000's and 2 from the 300si. I still break them out once in a while and shoot some film. Have a couple complete bags with film stuff in one and my digital kit in the other.

    The Canon A1 I bought in Singapore when the USS Independence pulled in for a port visit at Christmastime in 1984. I'd like to say I miss it, but I don't. Not one whit.

    Mine is a Minolta Maxxum 7D. My wife still uses it whenever we go on vacation, while I use my Digital.

    A Canon T50 that I bought from a pawn shop last Friday for $20.00. Works great. I shoot film all the time along with digital.

    A Leicaflex SL fell off my shoulder into the salt water pond as I was getting off my boat in June 2005. I haven't stopped crying yet. But the 5D will keep me to a whimper. I do have a Bronica SQA that I bought since and as soon as life stops getting in the way with my money I will purchase a scanner and use it.
