A week ago I dragged out one of the old Nikon film cameras.
. If you go to the Sharpshooters page on Facebook, ( https://www.facebook.com/SharpshootersInternationalPhotography?ref=hl ) the Nikon F with the 50mm 1.4 set as the profile picture was my first camera. It's the one I used to take this photo about a week ago. I got that camera in 1969 when I was 14. I shot probably 1000's of rolls of Tri-x thru it in high school and college. HS newspapers and yearbooks were filled with photos from it for 4 years. The same for college and several other neighbor hood publications. Thru it all I kept it in great shape and it looks and works perfectly today 44 years later. I can't begin to tell you how many memories came back and how good it felt to shoot with it again. You have to wind the film after each shot and only get 36 on a roll.
Manual focus and manual exposure. And it feels like and makes real camera sounds- I love it .

I take lots of photos with film. I am very pleased with this photo taken on 4x5 inch Fuji Velvia100 film using a Toyo 45CF field camera. It was a long hike in with a large camera, lenses, dark slides into a place that is rarely photographed. The full scan of photo from transparency at 48 bit rate was 82 megabytes. I worked with a smaller file for web publishing.
