...at least in this corner of the world. Just got back from another tall-ship sailing expedition & it seemed whenever I got my camera out in port, people had something to say. I asked a security guard to take a photo of me & a shipmate; she remarked "It's not very often you see film these days". I gave a tour guide the camera to do the same elsewhere; I set it at 250 & explained that "this is a heavy camera & it will go off with a big clunk, so hold it really still, ok?". She pressed the shutter & we watched the whole camera tilt down about 2 inches. ...Sighh... I put it on a hatch cover & put the timer on it instead. (The pic at 250th actually did turn out.) There was one other crewmember aboard who had a film camera, which I was delighted to find. She has to use digital for her work, but said she really liked her old Nikon. Someone else somewhere remarked, when I took it out of the bag, that that was "a serious camera." But of the 10,000-odd people who toured the ship while we were in 3 different ports, I met one person with a film camera.
I know there are people out there using them -- you guys are posting on here. There just don't seem to be any more filmies in my corner of the world, & this trip, my K1000 seemed to get the same sort of reaction as if I'd driven up in a Model T or something.
Shees...
