I'd have the slide film developed professionally, but made prints at home. When I moved in 1992, I built a much bigger darkroom in my basement. But when I moved in 2003, I did not build a new darkroom. I sold all of darkroom equipment on eBay about a year after that. At that point I switched to print film and getting photo cd's made. My wife joined the digital camera age about 2 years ago. And I just finally gave up, put my Nikon F4s on the shelf and got a Nikon DSLR back in February. At least I can still use my film SLR lenses, flash equipment and other accessories on my new camera (although there are some functionality losses with some of the old stuff on the new camera).

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my local supermarket stopped processing film.
Which Nikon DSLR did you get? I have a Nikon D700 and won't be using my F2 again... And you're right, I do get to use all of my old lenses. I had a D100 before and only a couple of them worked. With the D700 all of them work.
