๐ค๐ค๐ค I wonder if they still make old photo film.
They do! It's relatively simple to develop black and white film too

Can you still buy those types of cameras, or do you have to go to antique shops to get them?
Man, having an old camera like that would be so cool. You could use them to make movies and stuff, too, and avoid disputes over whether video was authentic or a deepfake.
The cameras are still sold, ebay is filled up with them. The gain of popularity of these cameras has caused quite a spike in prices though, be aware.
Unfortunately the only cameras that still use 35mm for sale on the market are point and shoots and leicas as far as I know. There is definitely a great variety of tested and we'll maintained cameras for sale online.
