I don't think they are extinct least of ways on my ramblings through paris
Ronchamp for a Corbusier church, and selected parts of Switzerland,
litchenstein and Austria I certainly saw some films cameras still in play.
Nikon, Canon, Olympus and Pentax seemed to be the main contenders. Thats apart
from what I was carrying, which was (because my Rollie has hung up on me again
shutter jammed, film wont move forward...) A Nikon F2, F5 and a D40, A super
Ikonta and Zeis Nettar as well as an OM2 with a 21mm lens.
All the best
