When was the the last time your had your picture taken by a FILM CAMERA?

Just for the heck of it.

For me, it would be 2012 - I bought a disposable camera and someone took me. Don't know if the print has been scanned though.

How about you?

For me? May of this year, but normally I'm behind the camera. For my poor long-suffering child subjects, as recently as last week



I didn't tell her there wasn't film in it :eek:

OK. You get a "Thanks"..




but.......


I had the PRIVILEGE of being recorded on 8mm cinéfilm negatives when I was 8.

Beat that.

My Communion was the last time.

For my Confirmation we had advanced to the Kodak with the disc, well if you'd call that an advancement.

Once my aunt's "cool bling" : She flaunted the camera at a wedding when I was a teenager. They had unreliable flash cartridges.

End of August this year. Not only a film camera, but a pinhole film camera. I had to stand still for 10 seconds while the "shutter" was open......

About a month ago at a wedding. There was a Polaroid camera set up at the hotel.

Just a few weeks back when I was home actually, my uncle found his long lost Pentax !!

It´s a lovely camera , can´t wait to see the developed pictures, that's something I miss about film, taking photos and forgetting
and getting a nice surprise a few weeks later when you get them developed.

No, no you can't. With the advent of digital everyone abruptly went blind.

Presumably you mean can you buy film now ?

Yes you can.

Don't knock film, resolution wise 35mm film is about equivalent to 20-22 Megapixels on a FF (35mm) sensor..

No mention of the Nexia/Advantix film so far. Supposed to make producing good quality photos easier.
It came to late in the era to make an impact.

Though interestingly that's where the 'APS' designation for the normal size of non-'fullframe' digital sensors comes from.

Last week, a friend turned my camera on me for a change. I am normally behind it.

I'm a bit more careful than that. Wedding photographer in 1986 was the last person to record this beautiful face on film, I think!

A couple of weeks back. August methinks! Daughter who had been wishing for a 'Polaroid camera' for a long time finally got one (one of those fuji jobs) - with a few boxes of film.

The magic that happens after the motors stop whirring. Unreal. Seriously. If you do have a little spare cash, do yourself a real favour and pick up one with some film.

Only disappointment was no shaking required.
