Shot with a Lensbaby Twist 60. I am at the bottom of my learning curve with this 'baby'. The camera is my late uncle's Spartaflex. It hasn't been used since at least 1960 (when he passed). It will most definitely need a thorough cleaning if I ever chose to use it.
Update: My Dad's old film project - 1st roll of Ektachrome, color transparency film with a use before date of: September 1960 was a bust- no images. I am undaunted and will continue to try the other rolls and keep all updated.
@annied I love having the camera, I understand it isn't worth much, one sold recently on ebay for about $12 -so it stays as a memento.
@golftragic You are so kind, I'm sorry to say that I am not much of a Dr. Who person but am honored none the less.
@haskar I should try and clean it and give it an outing.
@pistache Thank you a great deal. I also figured out how to change the optics without too much trouble. I so enjoy lensbabies and the freedom it/they allow.
@megpicatilly Thank you, I'm not worried but I also am very happy that the rolls have old fashioned metal film canisters with them. Life's an adventure or nothing any way.
@jernst1779 Thank you. I have to play around more with this lens.
@ingajohansson I am not upset, doing film again has given me a chance to rediscover my film cameras. I am taking notes for each exposure, sorta my own version of metadata that digital does for us. I am having fun just giving it a go.
@yrhenwr It is so dirty and I'm not sure if I could clean it properly. I should just try a roll anyway.
@stephanies I got the twist element and I figured out how to change/swap out the element form my sweet 35. They are on sale this month. Only $20 off but as compared to the full lens, it was worth it.
