Yep.  I've got an MDa, an R8, a IIIf,  well, should I list all  of the
fifty cameras in my collection?   I even have a 4 x 5 Bicycle Camera.

The best ones for my needs are my Leica M8, and for Macro, my Pentax K10D.
Just my opinion.  I can't wait days for processing anymore.  Sorry.

In fifty years, I will be gone.  My still cameras will hopefully be trinkets
that some of my kids will keep.  They probably will sell them all off.

You are fooling yourself if you think otherwise.  Film is mostly gone.
Here, it is almost all gone.

BTW, some cars now have automatic transmission.  That means you don't have
to push in the clutch at every gear change, Walt.

Your mileage may vary.
