My old 35mm film camera would still be going strong if I could be arsed to use it. Problem we had with film was that you took your negatives in for developing, when they came back you would consider yourself lucky if you had half a dozen decent photos. Heads, feet, hands, all regularly got the chop, and you couldn't photoshop your pictures back then, so you would see hilarious sights in the background. One such example was that of a bride & groom, standing under a tree in full bloom of May Blossom, in the distant background was a dog with it's back arched, taking a dump.
The changeover to digital was an expensive pain for me. I had the contract for the Kodak company called: Print movers. We collected the negatives from the shop, delivered it to Kodak's developing laboratory and then returned the photos to the shop. Kodak had ring fenced Print Movers, so they were able to put them into liquidation without recourse. Took me for a five figure sum.
