It might be interesting to see what 35mm camera people use here for those who still use 35mm film on occasion etc.
NO 120, sheet films or other formats. Just 35mm.
I use a F-1 mostly and a FTb and EF occasionally to keep them exercised.
Let's hear from you all on 35mm film cameras.

I have a Nikon FM that I use occasionally. I have about a dozen rolls of film in the fridge.

Now, about 13 years ago, I cycled through an inherited AE-1, a T90, and an F-1. I added a few FD lenses which were selling relatively cheap back then, at just the start of the mirrorless uses for these lenses, circa 2010.

But, what I was finding was I wasn't getting as good images as from my AF equipment. Film was / is too expensive for inferior results. My final move was to an EOS 1v to share my EF lenses between DSLR and this SLR, a 1-series professional body almost as sophisticated and capable as my EOS 5DIII. My next move was to sell-off the MF bodies. And, as a final step, picked up a used Sony a7II to see if I'd like the FD lenses on a MILC. The answer was an emphatic YES.

As a reminder, we have an UHH Film Section. Today, 269 subscribers, come one, come all!!

Film-wise, I bought up several large lots of 'freezer sales' from here at UHH, now with probably more film in my freezer than I shoot the rest of this lifetime, nearly all expired. New and old stocks I prefer:

New - B&W
Kodak Tri-X 400
Ilford Delta 400
Kodak TMAX 100 & 400
Fuji Neopan Acros 100

New Color
Kodak Portra 400
Kodak Ektar 100

Expired B&W
Kodak T400CN
various expired rolls of any of above

Expired Color
Fuji Press 800
Fuji Superia 400
Fuji NPH 400

When I traded most of my film equipment, I kept the Olympus OM-2s, since it uses the relatively common A76 alkaline cells. Also kept a few of the best of the Zuiko lenses.

Today, and last week, shooting Ektachrome 100 in a Leica M4 I bought new in 1972. Three weeks ago I was finishing a roll of Portra 160 in a Leica M4-2, bought new in 1975. Two weeks before that I finished a roll of Kodak 800 in a postwar Leica IIIf. Had the shutter teplaced on that early last year, and have been buying lenses for it. The last two eBay deals were cheap, but need to be cleaned. Every so often I pull out a Nikon FM-2.

I bought 100’ roll of Arista200 b&w to use as an accompaniment to the same emulsion I’ll use in a view camera. I can shoot a scene a dozen times, cut the film into short sections and play with processing before committing the big sheet film to being processed.

That was the most complete answer you will get in this thread and you slam the poster for mentioning a section?

Please go back to the attic if you keep being so... aggressive. You belong there.

I still have three 35mm SLRs that I can shoot film with if I choose to. I am thinking of using some film this coming spring, say B&W and Color film. Note my UHH tag line. I have a Pentax K2 DMD, a Pentax K1000, and a Pentax Spotmatic I can shoot film with plus three other vintage 35mm cameras.

I don't understand this reply to his post. It looks to me that a lot of thought went into it.

I no longer use film, but if I did, I would use Kodak Portra 160 and Portra 400, Kodak Tri-X, Ilford HP5 Plus, and Ilford FP4 Plus.

If Kodak still made Kodachrome 64 and Ektachrome 400, I would use those again, too.

I used all of those through the years, and would use them again were I to get a wild hair to use film.

All that said, I would much rather use a digital camera!

Nikon FM2ns and Nikon FGs, if I want auto-exposure. I shoot Ilford B and W film exclusively and "new" Ektachrome 100 slide film and occasional Fuji Velvia when I can get it. I don't shoot a lot of color print film but when I do, I shoot a mixture of Kodak and Fuji.

I have a Nikon FM2n, and an FG. I like the FM2n better. When I shoot film it is because I want to get back to basics and the FM2n is fully manual.
