The venerable old K1000 :) Those things are bomb proof. I still enjoy 35mm on occasions. Nice to see some film photography in here for a change. Board is looking well and I love that deskmat.

Thanks for the love! Yeah, I have a big ol dent in the housing around the prism, but it doesn’t affect performance at all. Even fell out of the trunk once on a family trip. I think it’s gonna go on for another generation or at least I hope!

This is why I love mechanical cameras. They take a beating and apart from the light meter, don't need any batteries either. You've got to try pretty hard to ruin a mechanical camera. This is why I love my Nikon FM2 and FM3a so much. I can rely on them. If my digital camera breaks, or I forget to charge them, I can always just put a roll of film on one of those two and be certain they will just work. I always have one or the other in the camera bag as standby. Usually the FM2, as the FM3a is starting to become a very valuable camera these days. I was shocked to see how much it's worth now.

Yeah I’ve definitely fallen in love and dived into another rabbit hole. I got lucky with a nice intro 35mm just gotta expand my kit of lenses. Already on the hunt for a good intro camera for medium format, but my wallet has had enough with my hobbies and interests. Happy shooting, friend!

Ayooooo thanks for the love. Yeah it’s only my second roll since I’ve started. My first roll was porta 400 which was a nice balanced film stock with that subtle warmth. This came on strong in the warmth department but combined with the red halation, it really sets a nice mood for the right scenes. Just finished my third roll and this one was black and white so really getting the full range!
