I was never in love with manual typewriters I found it extremely easy to adopt
to digital in that respect. (I do have one kicking around here however).

Even with the best new AF gear available to me, there's something
unaccountably appealling about an all-metal body, the snick of the mechanical
shutter, the heft of the manual lens, and a roll of Tri-X. That's why I
kept my
Pentax MF gear when I jumped ship to Canon for IS for much of my shooting.
And I go back and forth easily between the two systems. Why? Maybe because
that's how I remember shooting when I was a teenager.
Perhaps if I were 15 today instead of 51 I'd be building up a future
allegiance to
film-based Canon EOS, so that in 30 years -- when digital will have
eliminated
film from all but a handful of museums -- I'd look back fondly, and a
little stodgily,
on the smooth whir of the Canon film drive, the hum of the IS, and the quick
focus of the lens.
And then there's manual typewriters....
