Default Back on track, let's talk about cameras

There are probably other folks like me who still use
film cameras because they have a lot of good lenses and
camera bodies that still function well. In my case, I'm
using the old Canon FD lenses on a couple of Canon A-1s.
These manual focus lenses were made obsolete in 1987 when
Canon introduced the EOS auto focus lens mount that is still
used on new digital Canons. Some company made an adapter to
use the FD lenses on EOS cameras, but it didn't work very well.

I guess I could purchase a new digital Canon or Nikon with
a couple of lenses for $600-800, but I can't justify that
expense at the present time.

So I'm still using my old 35 mm cameras, but I also carry a
Fuji 6 Mpix P&S.

One of my favorite photos is of a sunset that I took in
South Carolina in March of this year. The 8x10 photo is
framed and hanging on the wall - and I took it with the
Fuji!

FWIW
