Thanks for that comprehensive discourse on the subject. What more could
be said?

There may still be a demand for students -- although they may not need or
want to pay a lot. My kids do photography at school, no digital, manual SLR,
black and white only, all processed in the school darkroom. Pretty much the
way I started, so for me there's no question of relevence -- they learn to
wrestle with light the same way we all did. In their second year (I'm
talking 17 year-olds here) they get into digital through scanning their
prints, and their final portfolio can include as much digital manipulation
as they want, although by then they have a good grounding in composition and
technique. The results are amazing.

It really depends on what you want to do. I shoot mostly digital. But just
today I got a roll of 110 film developed that I shot in my Pentax Auto 110
SLR. It's great fun to try and get something useful out of that tiny
negative, but the little Pentax SLR is a great camera to try and so with. I
also enjoy shooting medium format. I just don't (or rarely) shoot 35 mm.
any more.

We just hauled out all of our old cameras to decide what to do with
older ones. Some are classics- collector's items so we will save
those just as collectables.

The only film camera I actually intend to use is an old Kodak Stereo
camera. I have a negative scanner attachment for my scanner, so can
scan the developed film and set up the cards on the computer. The
alternative if I want to take 3D pics again is to buy two cheaper
digitals and mount them side-by-side with some sort of a gadget to
depress both shutters simultaneously.

Sure, but you'll probably want a scanner for it

For taking slides to show to an audience. Digital projectors, and the
PCs to go with them, are not cheap enough yet for occasional use. TV
screens are not big enough.
