I occasionally put a roll through a new m42 camera I've added to my

One other reason I still shoot 35mm film is when I'm attempting to
capture meteorites. I realize noise reduction has come in a long way,
but I still prefer film for that kind of photography.
Well, my scanner is still hooked up and working - I still have lots
of film left to scan. So that part is covered. Maybe we should do a
shoot on film. I still have enough in the freezer of pretty good
