No need for the beer as I have recently gone T-total (curses bad timing once again!).Grantway - I have 20 offboard HD's plus 3x per machine and I'm never entirely sure when things are when I need them!
Negs? they sit in the filing cabinets in their own folders. No need to have 3x copies of everything with negs.

until you are visited by fire, mice (they're food) or vengeful ex-partners...

You forgot floods and pestilence, and we should not forget famine & war surely!

I have an old F80 i picked up on ebay a few years ago that i keep meaning to use, had an F65 before that, was pretty good fun really, helped a lot.
Using my old D200 these days i would love a D700 but i cant justify it let alone afford it right now my gallery is over at antimas.deviantart.com nothing amazing but i am getting better.

I use my Holga alot still, theres something unique about using film when your messing around with 'toy cameras'. It an effect you cant really get easy with digital, something about the randomness of it.
I use my Canon DSLR alot for shooting landscapes, but by the nature of the subject it really needs more controlled style of shooting. However I still use the same way of shooting with using Lee ND grads etc as i did when i was shooting with the Mamiya I had.
However, i keep getting tempted to get out a Mamiya RZ67 from uni to have a mess around with!

I occasionally use my old Nikons. Normally if I'm going on a trip somewhere I'll leave the digital at home, take a body and one lens and it makes me think about the shots more.
Last Year with the FE and Nikkor 20mm and 100ASA B&W.
This year I took the FM2 and the FE on hol with some filters and the 20mm and 85mm lenses. One roll of 800ASA and 1 roll of 100ASA fuji colour film. yet to see results....(haven't got round to sending films off for processing yet).
However I enjoy using the old cameras more than the Digi.

Grantway asked about future proofing.
The way it's heading is that DNG will be the ONE accepted format.
You will be able to convert existing files to DNG which is an Adobe protocol.
At least I think this to be the case!

not until it's an ISO standard

It won't need to be.
If the camera manufacturers adopt it and Adobe push its usage; then that becomes a given.Posted 2 years ago # -
If the camera manufacturers adopt it
that's the bit I'm sceptical about

Yeah picked up an old Nikon F801 to use my 28 and 50mm primes on. Died the other day but then it was only £20. Will get another one though.
