# nice camera
I just got an EOS 450D, more like the cameras I grew up with.
(still got an A1 that I drag out occasionally)

# Sweet whats the A1 like?
I have always been tempted to get a manual film camera. i got the Canon 1000F but its abit to automated for my liking.

# My camera's a manual-wind film camera
Pentax P30. I was given it for my 18th birthday; 16 years later, it's still doing sterling service.

I suspect it'll outlive the easy availability of 35mm film...

# had it 30 odd years
been round the world 3 times and all over aus, battered as fuck but still takes a great pic.

You learn to bracket exposures pretty quickly with a manual camera but the A1 has a program mode so you can still basically point and shoot.

# film, you were lucky
I have to draw all my photographs on toilet paper and then post them back into the camera.
