A guy at the camera swap said film is 'dead' while holding a $900 Pentax
I was at the Portland camera swap meet on Sunday and this older guy in a denim jacket told me nobody shoots film anymore, right as he handed over cash for a Pentax 67. I just nodded and kept walking because I had a roll of Portra 400 in my bag that I shot at my niece's birthday. The thing is, the room was packed, maybe 60 people, all digging through bins of old lenses. I guess I'm wondering if anyone else gets told film is dead while standing in a room full of people buying it?

Man, that guy was tripping. I was at a flea market last month and watched a teenager drop two hundred bucks on a beat up Canon AE-1 while some other guy swore nobody wants old cameras. The whole table sold out by noon. Film is not dead, it just got smaller and way more expensive, which is a different problem. Half the people I know shoot digital for work and film for fun, so both things can be true at once. That Pentax guy was probably just mad he had to pay full price for the thing he says nobody wants.
