I wonder if takes a roll film back! ;D

For today's kids anything older than a couple of months is already "vintage"

Oh yeah! Baack in ye ole daze, we used to go to tha store to get shumething called film. It came in a cardboard bochs. Inside it, theere was a little plashtic can to protect it. Once you opened the plashtic can, there was another smaller metal can in it. It looked like shome tape with holes on the shides. Only thing is it wasn't schticky.  :D

Someone got themselves a half decent EOS body and a couple of lenses for less than £20. Not a bad deal if it works okay but "vintage"? Don't make me laugh....! ::)

Still, there's £5 bottles of wine on Tesco shelves that use the word "vintage" to mean a specific year - which might only be last year, so stranger things......

Last year I was at Photo Expo, talking to one of the Nikon reps about getting a digital camera and I was trying to explain that I wanted o make sure the shutter was as responsive as my FMs; so I said, 'you know how, when you use a regular film camera...', and he said, 'I've never used a film camera.'

I almost slapped him.

You should have done...it would have been awesome  ;D Anyway, let this be a lesson to you in what happens when you start thinking about buying a digital camera  ;) :D
