Do vegans avoid using camera film?

There is gelatine (an animal product) in camera film. Before digital cameras became available, did vegans avoid taking photos?

Veganism is not about absolute perfection; it's about doing what you can reasonably do to make a difference. Yes, we're aware of the animal ingredients in film. Some vegans use(d) it and some avoid(ed) it. Same thing about the potential for animal ingredients in car tires and a million other places that are difficult to avoid completely. Everyone has to draw their own line. I went snorkeling in the Bahamas in January and bought a disposable underwater camera to make the most of the experience. If someone wants to consider me not vegan because of it, they're welcome to their opinion.

thats a good question, and i have no idea, but ive never thought aboutt hat.

i bet most of them didnt even know if was made from an animal though,but ya never know

yup, gave up photography when i went veggie 17 years ago and only started again 8 years ago when I got a digital.

I use a digital, so its really a non-issue.
