Greetings from Iowa

[Wayben]

I've been lurking for a while so figured it was time to join and hopefully contribute. I started taking pictures with my parents Kodak box camera as a kid back in the early 60's, bought my first 35mm camera (Yashica) in the early 70's while in the Navy, switched to Canon A1's in the late 70's, and then Nikon F3's in the early 80's. Been using Nikon ever since, still occasionally using film, but mainly digital. I've also added Leica, both film and digital, to my arsenal. Besides friends and family, I'm mainly interested in nature and landscapes.

Looking forward to learning more here and contributing whenever I have something to add.

More to come I'm sure.

Still got the box camera? I've collected a few, fun to use. So now you've got me thinking I should get one out and hunt in the fridge and see what film I have on hand. Welcome!

I still have the camera, but the mirrors in the viewfinders are bad. I can't see through them. It would be fun to use one again for some street photography. Is film still available?

 

[vintagesnaps]

Sure is. Try taking a look at http://www.filmphotographyproject.com .
