Hardly pagan. I still shoot 4x5, Rapid Omega, Hasselbald, Nikon F and F5, and a Leica IIIf (which I like for street work). I also have a few twin lens reflex cameras, as well. Love 'em all. Along with the rest of the family, meaning my D700 and D800e.

Exactly one of my points. I did slack off the 120 folders a bit for a few decades when I went to the 35mm Nikon side, but I still have and use quite a few. And kits? Taking along a few lenses and flashes for my Praktica took a small backpack of their own! My lil Ikonta 6x4.5, tho has always been my backup, point and shoot, ever ready camera.
But the other point was: Times Have Changed. I thought there was ALWAYS going yo be 120 film and cameras galore, in all shapes and sizes. The same for 35mm. Then the APS-C standard looked kinda like another long term standard. But my lil Nikon A900 is much better at most everything than my D80. That Oly makes my d7100 kinda iffy. That Oly with two lenses is cheaper than a Hassy lens just 2 decades ago- and I don't need to do a couple dozen rolls of film today.
My kids grew up with 35mm cameras, and today most prefer some kind of super zoom bridge type cameras. My grandkids prefer their phones- why get something extra? I think their kids are going to be Borg- blink a picture and iCloud it.
