    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      While the A290 is not the top of the line stuff anymore, I still don't get why do you want a film camera now. Why did a film camera attract you so much, talking practically instead of going by history?

      Remember: you can take only 36 photos with a film camera's single reel. And movies, well forget about that unless you're taking a movie camera itself.

            Hey [MENTION=26407]aargee[/MENTION], how much are you planning on selling the Elan IIE for? I might be interested in picking it up. How's the condition of the body+lens?

            @Others

            Film cameras hold a certain charm that digital cameras can never match. Dynamic range of film is still unmatched, especially by APS-C DSLRs and film grain simply cannot be replicated in the digital medium. Yes, digital SLRs are ahead in most other aspects, but it's something like an RD350 vs the Duke 390. I still know people who primarily shoot on film despite owning full frame DSLRs.

              I've periodic maintenance done through Canon India once a year; I was showing it to a friend even last weekend & it was good. Will PM you the price. It comes with 28-80 EF lens & camera kit bag for you.
