Hi Tom,
These are really great shots. I still have a 'collection' of Nikon film cameras...one of them is the F5. Admittedly, I don't use any of them any more...therefore become 'collection'

Dan dust that puppy off buy some film and just have scans put on a disc. they won't be large files but good enough for web . you can still pull them in PS for a tweak.

Gee Tom, you sure put up a plethora of wonderful images
I would join the thread but I also don't have any wildlife film shots, it was digital that got me interested in wildlife photography. I may have a first generation film Rebel laying around somewhere. Maybe I should slap that on the 500! Heck I probably wouldn't remember how to work it

Tim, I hope you give it a try , it's lonely down here on the bottom , My 8 years old uses an EOS to Nikon adapter on my 500 and has a blast. he has an Elan. Show us how multi talented you are.

Don't have any film either Tom, but these are cool
Conrad thanks for the kind reply, I really thought more people shot film in the past that are posting here now . It looks like however that most didn't get into photography until the digital age . How sad.

Thanks Ron , Sure wish others would take a walk back in time with the old film camera . I'd like to see others work beside myself. I have nothing to gauge mine by .

Not wildlife...but film . I don't think I even knew what an F2.8 lens was when I took these. Surely I couldn't afford one either! Well, one animal, and I have some scattered others. I always had velvia loaded though so even if an animal came around I could never get a sharp image. My oh my who much I have learned. My o my, how much the digital revolution has allowed us to be flexible on the fly!

Louis , thank you , thank you, thank you, Absolutely nothing wrong with these. Beautiful.
Hard to pic a fav , but #2 stands out to me ( no pun intended.) Please post more if you find them . A lot of others would enjoy them too even though they may never tell you.
What would you consider your biggest challenge with film , and have stopped shooting it altogether. If you still have your film cam pull it out for me and take a few shots for us.

- I have thousands and thousands more ...... I do have some great shots, but over time my skill and gear have improved so my "keepers" are more frequent now. Also my own criteria for "good" has changed so what at one time I thought was good sometimes doesn't work for me. Then again, sometimes I find old shots I overlooked that I like .
I have stopped shooting film. Once I went to the 5D I put my MF gear away. I was just tired of carrying two setups around all the time. I have better focal length coverage with the DSLR setup and the quality was good enough for my needs. Plus I found the digital much easier to post process, and cheeper. I still have the 645 camera in the closet. In fact I have a whole roll of the pre-paid processing envelopes from A&I and I don't even know if they are good anymore. I do miss mailing out my film and checking the mailbox all the time. It was like being a little kid at Christmas. Waiting with anticipation to see what you got! I don't miss the expense, but really I think we just pay for that upfront now. There are savings though with digital. I fire the shutter much more now than I did shooting film. I also used to have a darkroom and did my own Cibachromes. Those were awesoem prints! Used to kill me though when I'd spend all this time and then see there was a hair on the slide or something and the print was essentially garbage. Overall I think I prefer digital from start to finish. The pros, for me, very much outweigh the cons.
A few more I had scanned already and saved to photobucket.

So here is my contribution from 2001. We witnessed a cheetah with 2 sub adult cubs take down a young kudu and the aftermath when a big male lion claimed the prize. These were scanned in a couple of years ago when I really had no idea what I was doing.
Enjoy,
Eric
