What on earth was I thinking????

So everyone keeps talking about digging up the old SLR (minus the D) and doing some "real" film... so I did... Only I don't think the thing works... Guess we'll see when I take the film in to be developed on Monday...

Yep -- you are nuts!!! For me, that is one of those things that sound more glamorous and nostalgic than it really is, but that's just me. I shouldn't knock it 'cause I haven't tried it! Be sure to let us know is goes!!!!

I definitely do NOT miss carting rolls of film around. I once took my daughter to Disneyland and ended up hauling 12 rolls of film in my purse. Boy, did that thing get heavy!

digital is just plain easier-- you can look at photo right away to see if you got the shot you wanted, process the photo how you want, the list goes on..lol

[Peter de Graaff]

I can't wait to see the photos. I have an MZ-60 which I use

[Shanne]

I still have a film camera around - the only thing I miss are those little plastic film cannisters which I used for storing so much ! Good luck, it will be interesting to see what you get

[Lisa Pouncy]

Digital is so much more convenient, cheaper and less scary! At least you can delete bad shots immediately ;o) xx

=) I even am not sure I will be able to do that again.. I am so lazy.. buying rolls.. taking them to be developped.. I will love to see yours.. =)..

[Sean]

I prefer looking at other people's shots with film! Too much work for me :)

tx guys... can't say i'm overly hopeful... something seems wrong with the camera and after the 5th or 6th shot on roll the film just starts whirring on... can't figure out why.... i'll take a couple rolls in to be developed on monday and see if there's anything to see :)

[Anne ❀]

i certainly appreciated a great shot a bit more back in the day ... i didn't have 100 to choose from! ;-)

[Juliette Packham]

Not sure how I ever got anything decent back then - think I get lazy having the options of thousands of shots to choose from!

[Trina P Holub]

Good for you! I have been enjoying all my film experiences lately...only thing is it takes me a long time to get through a roll. That's OK cos it's expensive!

[Howard N]

I shoot Pentax!!!

[Dave Schofield]

did you get anything or was it broken? I love this camera, I have one, real easy to use.

[☠northy]

@chewyteeth turns out this camera is broken... Recently bought a Pentax body that would work with this lens... Which is what I'm now using for film :)
