Just sent my trusty A1 off for a nice service and clean. Nothing quite like the feel of a good heavy SLR in your hand. Some of the modern digi SLR's are pretty good, and I'd dearly love one (though I'll need to save up for a bit for the one I REALLY want) but for good old fashioned playing and arty stuff I'll reach for the film every time!
Take films along to the local processor and get them developed neg only, then scan them in or get them to scan them in. I still have the negs, and I have the digital files too.
