Film cameras have fallen through the floor. You can buy a top of the line used camera, for pennies of what it was a few years ago.

The telephoto lens I need/want for my Canon digital SLR camera, costs more than the camera. In fact the last few lenses I bought for my AE-1 cost more than the camera.

I shot film at one event this Spring, just to use up the film, and when I got the prints I said "looks like the camera is broken or the film is bad." Could be the lenses are dirty or have grown fungus. Then I noticed all my "good" old pictures look about the same.

Spoiled by digital. Ruined for life.

I'm enjoying all that savings because I don't have to use film. Lets see, $3000 in digital camera equipment later, vs $2 for film and 23c a print. That's savings?

Kind of like how computers will make us paperless. I've been cranking out four times the paper I used to produce, ever since I got my first daisy wheel printer. It took a month to type enough pages to use a ream of paper. I do that in a week now.

So much for paperless society, thanks to computers.

Now I'm happy because I can spend $1800 for a new lens, so I can save $3 on film and prints.

What is the matter with me! LOL
