I am looking for sites that post pics and info taken with lens, not adapted to a Sony or Nikon ect but on film cameras. Film is Film. Besides Flickr.

Some analog users will use photographic paper rather than film. Probably only with large format, but film is not the only analog option.APUG.org is one that is for film. They use the term Analog - but no one I have met has ever, ever gone into a camera store and bought roll or box of Analog. They buy film.
I held off Photrio for a long time for no reason at all, but now I lurk. Some good info there. A lot of web searches bring up ancient photo.net threads, so if you are looking for older know-how, that's a good spot.While not exclusively film Photrio.com Photography Forums has a strong bias towards analog, then there are specialist ones for large format but they have less relevance for those shooting normal film cameras.
The term "Analog" as it applies to film "is just wrong!" Film is chemical based. An Analog camera is an Electronic Camera that stores the signal on a medium without passing through an analog to digital recorder. I have those. There were Electronic Analog Still cameras that recorded the electronic readout of the Sensor to tape and special "VideoDisk" in Analog form. These used Vidicon tubes and later, CCD sensors.The use of the word analog as described in this thread catches my attention because at one time any digital cameras were specifically called or referenced "digital" in their name so everything else was "analog" by default. Has the Rubicon been crossed in that now photography is assumed to be "digital" unless otherwise specified?
"Analog" is used as an antonym of digital in more places than photography. It's close to universally understood, if imprecise to the pedantic (which sometimes includes myself).The term "Analog" as it applies to film "is just wrong!" Film is chemical based.

I'm guessing "Analog Photography" applied to film cameras is just to mean "not Digital". Given how Grain acts, I'm sure we could come up with something.
