I too am still a happy silver addict, although I have never really left.

Now while there is a thread on support your local store, there are also many mentions of many good finds on *bay, as we call it around here.

Often just letting the word out that you shoot film, still, and are interested in using old cameras is enough to get them given to you.

In Florida there must be a whack of old cameras assessable though various retirement communities. Why not try putting a notice up in a few at the community halls, and you might have a dozen or two dozen or more cameras and associated bits for the price of one new bit of the latest Nikon fresh from the factory.

However you do it, enjoy the film experience.
