Once I start developing (which is soon) it'll be a simple matter of sending the negatives to Darkroom and paying the "half-frame" fee for special frame-size manual scanning, but low ASA film will still be expensive, so it'll always be a very occasional thing for me.

Cameras I Own:

  • 135:
    • Canon AE-1 -- my baby, at least as far as small format goes. I love the physical-needle-style meter. I only wish it could take an action grip like the...
    • Canon AE-1P -- a hand-me down from Mom!
    • Canon EOS 650 -- which I got out of an optometrist's automatic camera machine in a dumpster.
    • Delta Stereo -- funny story about this, but I doubt the man who sold it to me wants me to tell you.
  • Instant:
