So, I just picked one up the other day. Tired of spending money for cans of compressed air. So far, pretty cool. Does anyone else use one of these??

Looks like there are many models of those.
For me, an oil free cheap Porter Cable nailer compressor does everything I need.
Blow off negs, cameras, whatever, fill my tires and use my nailers.
You can add a dryer and regulator to any compressor.
I stuck mine in the furnace closet and leave it on 24/7 with lines to my bathroom darkroom and to my front door for tire filling.

Cheap 1/4Hp made-in-China with added air dryer. I think I paid $40 on sale somewhere. It's my 3rd one, so there may be some advantage to buying a good one, if anyone knows where to find one these days.
"bathroom darkroom" I think
I have a big compressor which I use for many different things, including blowing on my images, building things, running an air brush, and irritating the cat. I have an oil filter on it, but not a drier. Any suggestions for a high quality one?
Everyone's mentioned a dryer. I can't imagine what this is??

I have two of these vacuum pumps, one Gast the other Thomas. Paid $15. each.
These are not really air compressors, their original purpose was for use as a gas sampling vacuum pump.
Used a cooling coil and a dryer between the pumps and the O2 sampler.
Used several of these while doing environmental testing (pollution control) for power plants.
The original price for a new pump about $450. new.
