Anyone on here have any, or know a source for, old-style roll film? I have never liked digital photography, and prefer real film. I have a collection of cameras, some going back to WWI. If anyone has some old film, please let me know.

If anyone has some old film, please let me know.You'd be awfully lucky to find any film that is sized for those type cameras. Big change occurred during or after the second world war to 110's, 35mm and larger format cameras like 70mm's... beyond that anything that survived would not have printable quality.
If your cameras are indeed that old then they're collectors items and shouldn't be used.
Digital cameras do have their benefits. For one sharper and crisper images, many cameras let you see what the finished picture looks like so you'll know if you have to do it again, rather than go back home, get it developed and find out that shot didn't turn out like you wanted it to.
Plus the benefit of correcting common mistakes such as brightness, contrast and sharpness.
I'm an old school photographer myself having taken thousands of photos with the film cameras but am now realizing that if I want to continue digital is the way to go.
Makes it easier for you to share your work on line with others too. (grins)
