Sorry to here you can't go, It is going to be my first time, I'll take your request for pictures as a challenge, I have my old 35mm and 20 rolls of film packed and ready to go.

That's good, but also look for the Canon "shack"- they will be loaning out high-end cameras to anyone with a driver's license. Nice DSLRs with big lenses!!! Free!! And you can do it every day, all day!!

Thats interesting you said that, I have been using a Canon AE-1 since the early 80's, I have been considering a new digital, but its hard to part with something you have used that long, also the 4 lenses. It would cost a small fortune to replace the equipment I have for the new digital stuff. But I am definately going to give them a try if they let you use them. My luck I'll fall in love with them.

You probably will. I can't remember which model I got my hands on at Airventure '03, but it was very nice indeed. Same good Canon optics, but with the convenience and crazy flexibility of digital.
Chances are good that all you'd need to buy would be the body- I think the old lenses will fit the new DSLRs.
