I've been using my dads old Pentax K1000 kinofilm and Mamiya S654 for about 2 years now. I develop the film at home (i turn the bathroom into a darkroom) and scan the negatives with our scanner. No pics to post tho, they're on my fathers laptop atm. With the pentax I use mostly B&W film, sometimes with a polarizer and on some pics I've used an IR filter, it comes out great on B&W. Also, I normally use ISO 200 film.
For lenses (on the pentax), I have a 50mm f/2.4-22, 28mm f/4-8 and a great 130mm f/1.4-11.
On the mamiya I have a tele, a 50mm and an 85mm, but I can't remember the aperture for those as my dad has been using it mostly the past 4 months.
I'm growing tired of buying film every two weeks and developing it atleas twice a month, so I'm thinking of going digital. I took the time to count how much I've used on film and developing these last 2 years, and I'm well past 1500 euro. So, getting a digital will definately pay itself back.
I've tested some of the DSLR:s my dad has brought home from work, and really the biggest changes are auto focus and having to turn the thing on (and ofcourse it's easier since the Pentax K1000 is full manual). The main "skill" with film that you don't learn with digital is how to put the film in the camera. That's pretty much it. Everything you can do with film you can do better with digital these days, and film and digital are basically the same thing when it comes to just taking pictures (not counting in that with digital you can see how it turns out instantly, etc).
