This. In fact one of my students bought a 16mm film camera and is shooting her final project on it. I have a fair amount of experience with film cameras and it's way fun teaching someone how to work with it. Film is still largely superior to digital in the amount of information it captures but is waaaayyyyy more difficult to work with.

Classic cars are interesting because I think it shifts over time. People go after what they identified with and wanted in their youth. I think that as the Boomers start going en masse, the 50's classics out there are going to get quite a bit cheaper. I was born in the 70's. No interest in a '57 Chevy, but I would adore a 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood 75. The giant GMs and Fords were still around when I was a kid. |

I miss film.
I went to photography school just as digital was starting to gain some traction. We had one class on digital photography but most of our work involved 120 and 4x5 film and a lot of time spent in both the B&W as well as the color dark rooms. One of these days I really want to get a Leica MP so I can get back to shooting some film. But then of course I'll need a dark room too, because that's half the fun. |

I had started dabbling with portra a few years ago, though I don’t have my own dark room. Film is certainly more tedious than the efficiency of digital media but you’re right. The images are reminiscent of family photos that I remember in the 90s while I was growing up. Maybe that’s why it feels like the images impart a dash of warm nostalgia. |

Not really obsolete but early 80’s BMX sell for surprising amount of money. Original spare parts in good condition also sell for decent money. Modern BMX’s are so much better and cheaper but no where near as cool.

Hand engraving. I am a hand engraver and there are still people willing to pay for hand engraving although laser engraving is now quite common, incredibly cheap, and the average guy thinks it's great.

Although many of the other examples listed here are good, I don’t think they resonate with me in the same way that mechanical watches do.
For that reason I’ll say that they are in a league of their own |
