I have 5 or 6, but they are part of my student loaner inventory. I supply manual focus film cameras to Photography 101 students at local high schools and universities. Right now I have 97 of them loaned out, all coming back in January when the semester ends. Then I have to freshen them all up for the next batch of students.
Congratulations! you deserve a great medal fro providing such a vital service!

Good for you. We help out in a lot of ways but I've not hat the expertise to do it in photography. Something for me to consider in the future. Advice welcome.

I have about a dozen 35mm film cameras I got for free or for very cheap, and I use all of them to some extent. My primary go-to film camera is a Nikon FE.
The FE is my go to as well. I also shoot with a Nikkormat FT2. I have a Pentax K1000 that was given to me a while back, put it haven't tried it out yet. I have a Graflex Graphic View 4x5 that I plan on learning once I am able to move back into my house. We flooded in Aug and are currently rebuilding.

Don’t believe I’ve ever heard a word against the FM.I lusted after the FM when it came out in 77, but had to settle for a Minolta SRT200 instead. Now I have a pristine FM, and wish I still had the Minolta.

Nice set. I use M2 and M5, though the M5 is currently with Sherry getting calibrated for 1.5 volt silver oxide batteries. It (M5) is by far my favorite camera.

I do not know about the XT-1, but for most DSLR's one can get different screens (and its easy to change them), so split screens are most certainly available !!!!Actually, my Fujifilm XT-1 is pretty close, but it still has too much extra stuff, and no split prism screen. The articulated screen on the back is actually something that I like, now that I have two artificial knees - I can get those low shots I used to be able to lie down on the ground for. My most fervent wish: NO MORE MENUS!

And they do WHAT with the negatives? What would be their reasoning for keeping them and not giving them back to you?
I would like to know that too, actually that is stealing and I bet you could bring up charges against them!!!

Had to sell my (favorite camera) Leica IIIg once when I got poor. Wish I had it back.
Use mostly Pan-F, FP-4, Portra in the Rolleiflex.

I shoot mostly Nikon FM2ns. I love the mechanical operation and manual control. I like Fuji Provia and Velvia slide films, Ilford FP4+ and HP5+ b and w, and Kodak Portra and Ektar color print films.
