Do you still use an "obsolete" camera?
Bjørn Rørslett:
The marketing departments probably imply obsolete means 'useless' or 'rubbish' thus you just have to buy their newest models ...
In practice, "obsolete" should refer to some photographic device you cannot get film/media/batteries/spare parts for and thus is limited in its functionality. If it breaks it has reached end-of-life state. This is of course more severe for digital than for filmbased gear, but even the latter can become obsolete over time.
the solitaire:
Who are you calling obsolete? ;)
1965 NKT Nikon F with 1969 NKJ 20mm f3,5 Nikkor-UD and Ilford HP5+
2007 D3 with the same 1969 NKJ 20mm f3,5 Nikkor-UD lens
Bjørn Rørslett:
The concept of 'obsolete' cameras is a true child of the digital era. I suggest we focus(sic) on digital gear in this thread from now on.

Also, as rule of an interesting "game" Fons started, it would be more interesting to limit ourselves to the images "newly shot" with the "obsolete" cameras rather than posing "older" images shot with the cameras that were "current".
Bjørn Rørslett:
Following your suggestion, a favourite from my 'dystopia' series taken with the quaint Fuji S3Pro (UVIR) and the '73 version of the 15 mm f/5.6 Nikkor-QDC. The S3Pro is by far the most "obsoleted" camera still in regular use by me.
