Get what ever you want to use, but don't expect the older film equipment
to
help pay for it much. If you sell your film camera the only thing you
will
really regret is how little it is worth, monetarily.
About the only thing I use the film camera now for is black and white.
Still got a roll of Velvia around here some where, I suppose I should use
it
up...
