For Christmas, a buddy gave me a Stealth Cam MC2-GV game camera. While I appreciate the gift and don't want to look a gift-horse in the mouth (whatever that means), it is a 35MM trail cam. I didn't even think they sold 35MM cams any more. Once I went digital, I said I'd never go back.
It got me wondering, why would anyone want a 35MM cam, as opposed to a digital cam? I've seen the 35MM cams still selling out on the auction sites and people are buying them. I know you can get them for cheap now, but with the added cost of film, developing, and the hassle, what would make someone still want to buy film-based cameras?
I tell you what...i will send you $8 (cost of printing 36 pics) and you can mail it to me!! ??
in all honesty i have 10 35mm stealths and 2 i390's.... the main reason i have so many is because i only hunt public lands and cannot always get out to scout...so, i put lots of cams up and leave them out for quit a while to see what is in and or around the areas i plan to hunt...
i can leave the 35mm up for about 25-30 days at a time and i only leave it up before season for about two months..so my cost is not too much...for people who leave theirs up all year or or on "farms" or have food plots of feeders then NO don't get 35mm's......but for those who only hunt public land and get few pics and want to scout lots of areas i highly recommend it.
