Does Anybody Shoot Film Anymore?

Sorry.. It is rough I have cameras I paid thousands for that are worth nothing now. Some of them just sit sadly on a shelf just hoping I get a project where they might be needed.

For $50 there's no way I'd get rid of it, hell I found the same lens (new) online for $170, so if that's all I'd get, I'll just use it as a boat anchor!

Just a thought for those with film cameras laying around:

Check with your local high schools. Both of my daughters and niece all took photography in high school (my youngest just graduated a year ago) and the requirement for the class is the use of film cameras. All three used my old equipment.

So schools might just need the equipment for those students who don't have. I'm sure they won't give you a few smokes for them but it can be a tax write off if you are so inclined.

Just a thought.
