I still have the Pentax K1000 that I learned on nearly 30 years ago.  I pull it out every once and a while and shoot a couple rolls.

Don't have a 35mm, but I did recently pick up a Rollei 16. Actually got it for a Kolchak the Night Stalker costume I'm doing for Halloween, it's the camera he uses. Now that I have it I actually would like to be able to take pictures with it, it's such a cool little camera. Don't really know where I can get film for it though.

Getting the film is the easy part; it's still used for video. Getting it into whatever roll or cartridge the Rollei needs would be the trick.

Got a full b&w darkroom setup. Haven't used it in over 15 years now. My poor old AE1 has some kind of glitch in the shutter.
I miss the smell of Dektol.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Ah, Dektol in the morning!

Seriously, I haven't even looked at darkroom equipment or film in several years. Between running a business and a household, my hobbies have taken a backseat. Now y'all have me intrigued, going to have to do some googling and see what I can come up with when I have a "real job" again.

RKLarry - AE1s are the easiest cameras to work on, you could probably figure it out. If you still have your setup when I get my life back on track, let's talk! :)
