Thanks!! I’m definitely no photographer, I just like learning about and using old cameras, and the process/magic of shooting film.
Rollei 35 is probably my most interesting camera. I got it so that I could put it in my pocket while downhill skiing and take shots of the mountain/my friends.
I’ve got a Yashica Mat LM that was my dad’s, and his dad’s before him, and that’s been fun to mess around with. I’ve also got a Pentax K1000 that I started shooting film with!
Ha yes me too! I love old cameras and enjoyed shooting film for a few years when I got back into photography.
I have a Nikon F75 and a tiny Yashica. I always wanted a rangefinder but Contax are not in my price range!
A great thing I discovered is that using black and white film really improves your composition. It forces you to see much more in the abstract, which makes for much better images.
I hope you keep posting, there’s something special about film and it’s even better knowing you develop your own.
