If you’re in the same frame of mind, welcome. I love taking pictures, I love old cameras, and that’s all it is about. And they will still be shooting film 10 years from now.

People paint, ride horses, wear mechanical watches and play vinyl records for a multitude of reasons, some of them unsuspected 150 or 20 years ago. In the nineteen eighties digital watches did not kill mechanical watches, and vinyl records are making a comeback 20 years after CDs were launched. In the nineteenth century, photography did not kill watercolor painting and cars did not drive horses to extinction. But there is such an ample supply of nice second hand cameras that finding one you like is not a problem.įilm cameras are now extraordinarily cheap, and as long as you’re in no hurry to see your images and don’t take too many pictures, using SLRs or rangefinder cameras from yesteryear is a rewarding experience. It’s a different experience, and using different tools make you see the world differently. But I also love shooting with film cameras.

Like anybody else, I use digital cameras. About old film cameras, and the pictures you can still make with them.
