Hello everyone,
Lately I've been getting obsessed with film photography, so I thought I'd check this forum out
Little about me...my name is Tamas, I'm 28 yrs old and I live on Vancouver Island (split my time between Victoria and Nanaimo).
I started shooting with a Smena 8 (Soviet camera) when I was around 7, then graduated up to my dad's old Zenit 12 XP (still have it!) that I haven't shot with since high school (11 years ago).
I got really into digital photography and still love that side of the art (shot news for years, weddings, houses, for money and everything else for pleasure), but then somehow I got hooked on film again...here's my current film collection (been really into the Canon FD stuff the past month or so):
Canon AE-1 original
Canon AE-1 Program
FD Canon 50 1.4 w/ original hood/caps
FD Canon 28 2.8 w/ original caps
FD Canon 80-200 f4 w/ original caps/built-in hood
FD Tamron 28-80
Powerwinder A (x2)
Extra focusing screen
My other film gear includes:
Ansco Anscoset (love this guy!)
Canon Canonet 28 with Canolite D flash
Zenit 12 XP with a bunch of lenses
Zenit E
Ricoh XR-P Multiprogram with Rikenon 50 f2 (selling it).
I love the machines every bit as much as I love the art of photography...it's kind of nice handling a 50-year old camera that still works and seeing all the details that have been lost over the decades.
Cheers!
