A number of people have mentioned they also use a film camera and it would be interesting to see which ones are in use.
I use a Canon A1,and a canon ft in 35mm and my Pentax 645n medium format.
I shoot b&w with these mostly but have been trying out Fuji Velvia 50 with the Pentax and having it scaned.

I am shooting mainly BW with a variety of cameras, but trying to use everything but 35mm. I have old German 120 film folders I am testing. Also Mamiya RB67, 2x3 Press, and 4x5 Press cameras.
Getting used to manual focus is one of my main issues after the ease of Nikon AF.

I have a Nikon 6006, but I'm thinking about having my Canon Ftb repaired. It was totally manual and I got great pictures from it with one 55mm lens and a Sigma telephoto.

Occasionally I still use my Jurassic Pentax Spotmatic II. Nothing but a built-in light meter to worry about. For years it gave me great pictures when I had no idea what I was doing. Set the ole ASA, change shutter speed and f-stop, compose, focus, and shoot.
Then wait three weeks to see how you did.
That stuff makes you better. I still like to play with it and remain impressed with what this once simple technology can do.
Ah, those were the days....

I love film! I shoot on my Minolta X700. It's the camera I learned on and hope to keep forever!

Regularly I shoot my Pentax 645's for medium format and my Nikon F5 for 35mm. I shoot only transparencies (slide) film in them. I have a Nikon N90s and a few old TLR's I break out for the fun of it sometimes.

I still keep a Nikon N90s and an F100 at hand. Don't use them much, but every once in a while....

I have two SLRs:
Canon Rebel 35 mm
Minolta Maxxum 7xi
Ms. K has claimed the Rebel and Ms. C has claimed the Minolta for family photo walks. They both know how to adjust their settings to gain a some what proper exposure.

Took my battered Canon EOS 500 to Europe this summer. Plus 5 rolls of Ilford FP4. You really do have a different mindset when shooting film. More selective, or at least that is what I found. A different pleasure. Somehow more relaxed.

I still have one of those in non-working condition, the film advance lever is jammed.
It was the first SLR I bought back in the early 70s.
I still have an F1 and an EOS 1n but have not used any of those in ten years.
