And now, what should I do? Be ashamed for the moment of weakness when
thinking of selling the beast? No - I think if someone would buy this thing these days, then he or she will probably do it for using. My greedy little hands would keep it in a closet anyway. Not healthy for the good old camera! However sorry would I be afterwards . . .

I also use my leica r 6.2 and tri-x pan/xtol regularly for commissioned assignments. But I guess I shoot digital all the time, and film shoots are becoming a rarity. I dream of making fine art bw photos (nature) using a 4 x5 camera and film and printing traditionally with my durst lab 1200 machine. By the way, I am currently working on some 500 valuable original cellulose acetate negatives. Need to make full toned archival prints out of every one of them. So a lot of silver halide prints are happening... I do not think anybody should sell their film gear unless they have stuff they can't use.. You never know when you will need stuff like enlargers, lenses, trays etc. I almost sold my enlargers and small photo lab, only to find a project that needed everything a year later... all good wishes karthik Quoting elgenper@xxxxxxxxxxxx: > Certainly. While I´m almost 100% digital now when it comes to photography, my M2, my Leicaflex SL, and my Rolleiflex 2.8 E will stay with me (and even see a film or two from time to time, just to revive the feeling of heavy brass gears spinning). A mint (!) Leica II with its Summar lens will keep them company (it is six years older than I am - and I am far from mint.....). Only from my cold, dead hands....
