I still have a couple of 35 mm cameras. Starting when I was studying photography in college I had some really high-end gear, 2 1/4 square,, even 4x5 Speed Grahic.  Rollieflex was a favorite.  You had to manually adjust for parallax back then.  Had my own darkroom for years.  When I went to work in advertising for Murphy Oil, in 1968, they had a state of the art darkroom and I did away with mine.  
One reason I have an LG phone is that it has an extremely good camera, although I seldom use the extremely good part of it.
