My father passed on two of his film cameras to me. I think he was surprised that I would be interested in using them; he bought one in c.1959 (includes manual) and one is at least 20 years old. I’d have to agree with you about the pen and paper being a must…but I always forget! Whenever I get a film developed I have to think back to what settings I used as I tend to get lazy with the recording after the fifth or sixth shot.

Wow. I think you’ve converted me into a person who will now try to attempt some film. I think that’s a very good feat on your part. So, well done. I’ll definately bear this in mind and I’ll be checking back for more.

I’m definitely up for some film action! We’ll see what the guys at the photography shop tell me for suggested films — they’re supposed to be pretty good with that stuff. Regardless, I might have to pick your brain about good film to use for various situations.

Sweet!

I still haven’t figured out the multiple camera bit (currently I carry a few bags as I tend to have about 3-4 with me as well as a few lenses….), but I seem to remember Bryan in a photo with the technique downpat? Turning up late to a photowalk?

And I figured you might be up for some film shooting in the near future

I’m a little late in getting to this, but it’s still right on time for my purposes. I just got back from my Parent’s place and I brought my new camera home with me. It’s a Minolta SR-T Super — look it up or something. It seems to be a pretty good camera that was held in high regard back in the day.

I got a couple of pretty good lenses with it too… a 50mm f/1.4… a 135mm f/2.8… and an 80-200mm f/3.9. And to top off the whole deal, I even got the “old skool” camera bag from back in the 70’s!

I’m stoked! I’m going to a film shop this weekend to pick up some ammo for the photowalk on Sunday. Now I just need to figure out how to wear two cameras without banging them into each other.
