    Default I just did something crazy. Bought a film camera.

    I am still trying to explain to myself how this happened but I just bought from adorama a Nikon F5.
    Does anyone shoot birds on film?
    What film do you use?

    I think I need some therapy!!

    Joaquin, Don't feel bad, I still shoot slide film Fugichrome Velvia 100 on 8 of my older Cameras and I also have 10 Rolls of Koadachrome which are useless but I have had many offers of purchase by collectors, but it CAN'T be processed anymore. All my film cameras going back to my Rollieflex, Mamiya, Hasselblad, Bronica, Canon A1 and F1 and Nikon F2as Photomic which when handled feel like works of art though most are not worth much anymore.

    You may be crazy, but so am I. A few months ago I signed up on a Kickstarter project that's building a 4x5 sheet film camera, usable for street shooting handheld. I probably wouldn't have done it, except I have the lens it's being designed for, a Schneider 90mm Super Angulon in very nice condition.

    I did the same thing last year. I picked up a Canon Elan IIe like the one I owned in the late '90s. For $39 I couldn't resist. I don't use it much, but it still has the nicest handling of any camera I've owned.
