Nice camera, GLWS!
I learned to shoot on my mom's Canon AE-1 more than 30-years ago! Brings back some good memories!
But I don't think I could ever go back to shooting on film. Shooting only 24-36 shots per roll and paying $$ for processing and hoping your shots are usable is a thing of the past with digital SLRs of today! When we are shooting a big event weekend like TS or Scheid we shoot something like 5,000-10,000 shots depending on if both my wife and son are shooting with me or not. There is nothing like catching the wild diesel action on the track at 5-8 frames per second!!!
