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 still use my trusty Nikons from F, F2AS, F3, FE, FA, FM for 35mm films, for 110 size Minolta and Pentax (both SLR's), Mamiya 645, 6x7 (120) and my very best is my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye.
Yashica 124G. I buy and sell film cameras on ebay so I have fun film testing all of them. I especially love the medium format ones. I'm retired and it keeps me out of bars.
I can relate. I have allocated my bar money into cameras and feel much better for it!
But, I will need to return to the bars to locate victims (models). Chicago is a bar town, if you want to meet people, that's where they are.
I also shoot a Yashica A.

I have a Canon T50 and a Nikon FM2, both are great film cameras.
That's a nice camera...Can't seem to part with mine, either! I have a Nikon D80 but it isn't the same.

I have two Pentax ME Super SLR's. I haven't upgraded to Digital yet. I am considering options. Leaning toward a Nikon D90 or its equivalent.
I still use: Argus C3, Argus C44, Argus C44R, Kodak Retina IIc, Kodak Signet 50, Pentax K1000, Agfa Solina, Agfa/Ansco Viking 6.3, Ikoflex IIA TLR, & Ciroflex TLR. (whew)
I still use my Canon A-1 for black and white photos
A Crown-Graphic made a fair amount of money for my best friend and me back in our military days. We'd go to the stock car races in Gulfport, Ms. and take a bunch of photos of cars, drivers and accidents. Then we'd come back the following week and sell the prints for a buck a piece.
I sometimes like to use my Minolta Maxxum 7000i just for fun but mostly shoot digital.
