There are quite a few people shooting with vintage equipment and techniques. They do it for many reasons - for a specific aesthetic, to evoke a certain time period, to achieve technical qualities not readily doable with modern equipment, because it's fun to play with old tools, because there's a market for art using older techniques, etc. I have a friend who's business is producing images - portraiture and landscapes - on very large glass plates for example. http://lachambrephotographique.squarespace.com/ http://lachambrephotographique.squarespace.com/ I have another friend who is a high-end commercial photographer by day, but for his personal art, he shoots with large format view cameras - which would be using glass plate negatives - in this style of Ansel Adams or Edward Weston.
