Sure, I have shot film.   Unfortunately I did it after leaving the home place where I would have been able to learn to develop my bw from my dad in a basement darkroom.  I used rangefinder type cameras then "graduated" to the more automated point and shoots with manual over ride.

I shot a few movies and animations with an old hand wound 8mm, 3-lens turret and hot lights.  Interest waned soon enough.

My first camera is faded memory..I do remember the large film, 120 medium format.  While I remember my dad using flash bulbs and a reflector, I was in high tech land with flash cubes.

Polaroid™ took my photos to new speeds for a short time but price and durability of photos made me drop it for everyday photos.

I remember the disc camera but thought it clumsy overall and film frame too small..if that is what it was, a rotating piece with film spaced in there?  I never tried one.        Tom
