I have a lot of fancy camera gear and have mainly shot digital since the late 90's, but I have to admit there is simplicity and joy in tossing a roll of Tri-X 400 in the F100 (film SLR), slapping on a 35, 50 or 85mm prime and firing away.

No fussing with settings and minimal time at the computer even if you do choose to scan and post-process the negatives, compared to what I typically do with the DSLR raw files.

Here is my latest old-school toy. It does have a meter and aperture-priority mode (electrical shutter) but is otherwise totally manual.
