I just put my age in. Glad I was able to one up the 60s. I'm 71, shoot Kodak Retina, Minolta HiMatic, Zies Ikonta 6X9. I have a Sony Alpha 550 digital, but I'm much more deliberate with the analog gadgets. There's a lot of things in life that are better the longer you take

Well, technically 60's for the moment, turn 70 in August. Photography keeps me young. Don't feel a day over 69 and half.

45 this year. I started out with film as a youngster in the 80's, nothing serious just a Samsung compact. Wandered away from photography completely until about the age of 35 or so, then came back to it when digital started to improve. I am now back to film (35 and 120) probably for good. Last year I learned how to develop my own b/w and will learn c-41 in the very near future, then E-6. There are so many beautiful film cameras I would love to own. For now I adore my Nikon FE, a Yashica 24, a Nikon F90x, an Olympus OM-10, and Yashica TL Electro.

59, not for long. Been shooting film since, uh, 1960. Not planning to stop. I've been stockpiling film and wine. My goal is to run out of both about the time I expire.

I'm younger than that now".

“Photography is a complex and fluid medium, and its many factors are not applied in simple sequence. Rather, the process may be likened to the art of the juggler in keeping many balls in the air at one time!”
Ansel Adams, from the introduction to The Negative - The New Ansel Adams Photography Series / Book 2

At 26, I thought for a while I must be one of the youngest members, but a ton of you are way younger than me.
Earlier today the poll results showed an inverse bell curve, which actually made more sense to me; I figured old people simply don't want to change, and young people like film because it's trendy.

Well, my bulge started in my forties, but it's gotten much bigger in my fifties.
I do use a digital device in my photographic pursuits when necessary.
When someone rags on me for using film, I use a middle digit, upraised.

Turned 53 yesterday, had a fever, felt like crap. Fever broke, feeling better today. Processed 6 sheets of 57 in my newly made BTZS tubes. Went pretty well, only ruined 2 of the negatives. I was doing the film in pairs, just in case I had some kind of problem. My initial agitation prior to dropping the tubes in the water bath was too vigorous and the film moved and ended up over lapped. Reduced the initial agitation and the next 4 sheets turned out great.
Btw I do shoot 35mm, just happen to be processing 57 today. When I was hanging the film to dry I actually noticed 3 rolls of 35mm that I need to process.

How old is everyone here in 35mm land?
