Film? What's that?

When my daughter began her photography degree in college (just a few years ago), she actually needed a film camera for one of the classes, not a digital one. Apparently, lots of professional photographers still use film instead of digital, because they show a higher definition of detail. Fortunately, we knew a photographer that lent us one for her. I wasn't aware that regular film was even made anymore.
 
Same with one of our children. I gave away my old Canon SLR for the course.

Oddly enough, my best camera ever was a simple Olympus rangefinder which I bought in the mid-70s. Super sharp optics and amazingly rich colors on standard Kodak 35mm film.

Came real close to doing that this morning, but I made up for it by not having my glasses on when I put the K-cup in. Was really surprised when I took a sip and it was hot chocolate instead of coffee.

Reminds me of a time at our remote hunting camp. It was well after dark and we were all outside around the campfire drinkin’ beer and shootin’ the breeze. I went to the cooler for a fresh beer and popped the top on what I thought was another Labatt Blue Light. I hoisted it up for a nice long pull and, to my surprise and horror, it turned out to be on of my son’s Mountain Dew sodas. I still have flashbacks of that coughing / hacking fit and it will forever remain one of the most traumatic experiences of my 50+ years here on God’s great earth. Everyone else got a good laugh out of it, though and all future beers were opened by the light of the campfire just in case. BTW - loving this thread. Keep ‘em coming.

I still have my Post Versalog, leather case, and instruction book. It still amazes me that I would go into something as important as a math final, do a bunch of manipulations on the slide rule in a few seconds, and have the confidence to write down the result as my answer.

I joke that, if civilization collapses, I will still be able to work with logarithms. I'll build cabins with the natural logs, and use the common logs for firewood,

I think I will go see how old I really am!
Fletch, you must be older than me, I just went to the site, I thought it was pretty straightforward. Maybe I just spend too much time fooling around with sites that are more wicked and evil!
