EOS 10D here. My EOS film is a 50E. It sits in the cupboard and has
for quite a while now, ever since the 10D arrived. I've an Olympus
OM1 as well, though both nostalgia and an indefinable, subjective
(and perhaps tipping over into "irrational" in some regards)
feeling achieved with that one (and Zuiko 50/1.4), that seems to
lead to photos I appear less able to produce otherwise, has it
drawn out on occasion. The 50E probably could leave, if it wasn't
for some self-delusional hoarding the retains it as "backup", as
well as interest in how a couple of newer lenses (35/2 & 70-200/2.8IS)
will look with some film-results but the OM1 will likely never
leave. I've too much affection for it (and its occasional results
that have please family members).

Mind you, I've also purchased a Polaroid SX70 in recent times, and
an Oly 35RC sits there as well, not to mention the YashicaMat 124
TLR. I've been keeping an eye out locally on eB*y for an Argus
"brick" in working condition at a cheap-as-chips bargain price
too.

Fortunately, I can stop anytime I want. ;-)

Cheers,
MarcL (Hmm, 400D as "backup" maybe? :-D )
