I know one die heart who stills takes photos of wildlife with a film camera. He has numerous rolls of film stashed in a spare refer. But he admits only because the camera cost him 7 grand.

Got me, that's sorta why I was asking. It was mentioned on another thread that someone was still using 35mm.

I did quite a lot with a Pentax IQ zoom, which is waterproof and, evidently, crashproof. Autofocus, optical viewfinder that zooms with the zoom lens. Various Traditional Bowhunter magazine covers and internal photos were shot with one, according to the photographer in email. That was way back before digital cameras were as good for that sort of size limitation.

No sir. I have several nice ones too but it doesn't make much sense to buy film, then pay to have it developed and not even know what you have until you get the photos back. The utility of digital makes it so much better for me. Back before digital, I took a whole lot of photos with 35MM, but now I can store over a thousand images on a little card that will fit in my wallet, and at high resolution.

I still have a Canon EOS620 35mm from the late 80's. I have not shot a roll of film in over 10 years. I paid a lot of money for that camera body back then, can't give it away now.

35mm is still very much alive but for the film users it is mostly mostly just the hipsters or purists.
I work for Leica Camera inc but on the sport optics side, so really dont do a whole lot with camera sales.
Leica actually built the first 35mm camera back in 1914. Our M style camera with interchangeable lens is still our best seller regardless of the price. I would say that 35mm is the most popular due to the history and versatility followed by 28 and 50mm. there are still a lot of M users that use the film models, but everything we make now like the M10 is digital with the old school feel (viewfinder, manual lenses). I really like using this style but mostly for just street style photos.
From a hunting / outdoor standpoint I much prefer something with a larger zoom range and quick burst modes. I use the Leica V-Lux. its affordable unlike most of our stuff, 25- 400mm range, fast shutter speed, compact, and also takes great video.

The question was "anyone still use 35mm" , not arguments against that.
I use digital cameras and, sometimes very good smartphone. Smartphone is NFG if you want prints bigger than 8X10. I do make my own with inkjet, don't use labs.
I also use 35mm Pentax and other SLR film cameras. I process my own B&W and pay somebody local to process color negative film. I scan them both myself (10 year old Nikon scanner) and print them with inkjet.
I like film for certain kinds of pictures. Files from my DSLR and my old film cameras are easily capable of beautiful 13X19 prints, which phones cannot even approach.
That stuff is just another craft. I don't understand why somebody would pay huge dollars for 4X4 when my own ancient 4X4 is more competent and more economical.

I have family photos from 100 years ago. George, those images on your disc or flash drive will begone in half that time. Our great grandchildren will have no idea what we looked like.

I recently started shooting film again. Been using an old Nikon Fe2 and just bought a really clean Canon EOS 1n since all my other equipment is Canon.

Film cameras are now for the “Trad” photographers. LOL!
I just picked up a new Fuji X100F that has settings that lets you take digital photos that give the look of film photos. Like new archery...we can now appreciate the past a bit more.
Film cameras are limited; might have to make one out of osage. :)

Going in pretty deep into biological and wildlife photography...primarily with Olympus cameras and lenses. Just got the 40-150mm and 300 mm Olympus telephoto lenses for filming humpback whales in Tonga late summer. Underwater photography also with Olympus.
I have a lot to learn...once you start getting into this, it's a real rabbit hole re: technique and equipment, software too.
For more casual photography like hero shots on game or just everyday pics, I use a little Nikon pocket camera.

I have a Nikon FE and multiple lenses sitting down in the basement.
Don't have the heart to throw it out.
Happily I sold my Anniversary issue F2AS Photomic back in the 1990's for what I paid for it. Heavy, but you could drive nails with that camera.
