So I bought a film camera.
I had some experience taking pictures with a 35mm film camera a couple of years ago, and it was really enjoyable. I made a lot of mistakes and I didn't/don't really know what I was/am doing but not being able to edit a picture after the fact is completely different to the digital need to endlessly tinker.
As such, I bought a camera yesterday.
It cost 257.2958 British Pound Sterling
at todays exchange rate. That's for the body and the lens.
It also takes comedy sized film:
It's a really square thing and I half expected it to come with a cloth to put over my head and a stand on which to place it.
The camera on the left isn't mine, but it's also a film camera. Just for the sense of scale.
I haven't had the chance to take it out for a spin, but the first 5 rolls are black and white so if that isn't your bag I probably wouldn't bother coming back for the pictures out of this thing! (At least for a while).
