Aren't some of those old lenses usable on the newer digitals in manual mode?
My old Sears KS1 35mm lenses are compatible with the Pentax K series digitals. I'm out of it since the 6 meg pixel era as I can't afford the tech turnover.
These days I just carry around a well used Optio WG-II for when I drop it on the ground or in the water. It's a ton lighter too!

I'm a amateur photographer that sells an occasional print. I'm currently using an old Canon 5D. Got a few lenses: 17-40 f/4L, 70-200 f/4L, 300 f/4L, 50 f/1.8, 1.4 teleconverter and a set of extension tubes. When people ask if I do weddings or portraits I tell them I hate people. I tell them I'm a landscape/nature photography and I don't have the equipment no do I feel comfortable with people.
I do visit Fred's site occasionally but I frequent POTN: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/ and dGrin: https://dgrin.com/ the most.

If it wasn't for my parents, I'd still be using a Canon 300D.
Years ago my dad causally asked if I had them money, what camera would you like. At the time the 5D was the camera. A few month later I get a check in the mail. The only string was he wanted my old camera. I also gave him the kit lens, a bag and a 100-300 lens I had.
back in the 60`s we used to have a kodak 110 then I think a 126 when I went to Nam then I bought my first real 35mm camera spent some real money bought a Canon Pellix QL and a Canon 55mm 1.2 lens and few others after the QL I bought a Canon F1 and some more lens got a bunch of the the FL and then FD lens couldn't keep my wife's hands off of them so I believe in 2000 that for xmas that year I bought her all off her own gear a Canon Rebel 2000 and a ton of Promaster lens and gear also got her into some class`s through DODD Camera in downtown Cleveland she took tons of photos they where hanging the DODD Store she entered contest and always won first it made me feel good now she tells me how I should shoot right then she came down with cancer she had slowed down some what, I moved her up into the new digital with at the time was a Canon 60D and now some more up to date lens and flash she still shoots and does videos ,somewhere that time my oldest daughter got caught in photography she had gotten a new Canon 40d and then she got the Canon 5D she does a lot of Equine photography she used to hang out a lot with Scott Tees he had helped her out a lot well updated when I moved from film to digital I slowed down quite a bit was having problems with my vision nobody could figure why I lost my vision in my left eye and I was having problems with my right eye still do to this day and then a few years back a friend talked me into starting up again now bought the Canon 7D and ton of new lens so since heart attack have been trying harder to get back into it always wanted to get into astrophotography usd to shoot everything while in the service my camera was part of my body I ate and **** with it out the service I would shoot the Drags and car shows and when and what, if I feel up to it sure do miss it ,somewhere along the line my youngest son luke aka B570RR440+6 I got him a Canon Elan 7E N

I suck at photography 
use to have a Olympus 35 MM
I used for a long time, did OK with it
I was good with my ol' Polaroid 
obviously I'm not a photographer
I spend my time & $$$ on my car, truck, houses etc.
& I'm OK with it too
I use it for my own reference anyway,
serves my purpose, had to get into the digital age
it could be my $49 Vivitar XO22 Digital, bought at Walmart Camera
but;
it's actually better than the $99 POS Vivitar I had before it

I see to do a ton of 35 mm stuff years ago like many others. Used to get good concert footage back then. Ended up with some great photo of Stevie Ray Vaughan when he was here in Maine before his death. Now I do a ton of digital work with cameras and GoPro type cameras. I also teach a digital outdoor Education / photo class in High School. We use regular digital cameras, GoPro type and even drones while going all kinds of outdoor activities. We also use Adobe Premier and photoshop to edit all videos and pics.
