Anyone else like SHOOTING with vintage cameras?

i have a 1968 Nikkormat FTN I have been dragging around for quite some time, razor-sharp images and good glass is cheap.

Oh man, I shot with a FTN as a backup to my backup camera in the 80s, those are beasts! One part awesome camera, one part hammer, one part weapon. I was in a car wreck one time and the FTN was just laying in the trunk (long story). Car totalled, camera had a very slight dent in the pentaprism, worked perfectly!

As for shooting with older cameras, yeah, some. I was shooting a Zeiss Ikonta 6x9 but fell back in love with the Yashica 124G so that is my primary MF, my main 35mm is a Contax G (I am in absolute love with that thing) and a bunch of Zeiss glass. Of course there is the Cambo SC 4x5, the Nikon FG, Nikon N90s and a host of other playtoys.

If using any film camera is considered a vintage camera, then that is all I use. My main cameras are the Nikon F3 and an original FM. Backups are the Nikon FE's and F2's. Can't seem to develop a taste for the digital stuff.
