I've been using film since 1972.
Before that if you count Kodak Instamatics!
In 1972 Dad gave me his former workhorse 1957 Asahi Pentax. He followed that a while later with a nice early Spotmatic. I used the Spotmatic (and to a lesser degree the AP) right up to about 2005; both now need work, and I've actually purchased replacements. I have another user Asahi AP now... as well as a couple of Spotmatics including a Spotmatic II and a Spotmatic F.
For some time I have also been collecting Pentax bodies from 1957 through Spotmatic F. I have a number of Nikon "Fs" as well. More recently I've added more modern Pentaxes AF bodies and Nikon AF bodies.
I picked up Digital in about 2003 with a Nikon P&S, graduated to Fuji prosumer digital a little later, and arrived at a K10D digital SLR in early 2008.
I love film. I love digital. Both have their places and their virtues. I still regularly shoot both.
woof!
