No, not me. The camera. (Although, come to think of it, I am a lot older than the camera) I have had my beloved Canon AE1 for nearly fifty years. For some of those years it lay unused and not in working condition as I went through several other film cameras and digital cameras before taking it in to get it back in working order a couple of years ago. It is still such a lovely camera to use and one of the favourite cameras I have ever owned. Although I have two other film cameras I sometimes use, this is my go to when shooting film. This is for September SOOC
I have a similar vintage Pentax Spotmatic - I doubt that it works. I did a short write up on my website about my old cameras - two slr's and two digital if you are interested. https://jennifereurell.com/2019/10/01/the-memory-shelf/
@gardencat I used to back in the day when I was a single young man. A buddy and I built one in a basement corner of our rented house. The landlord was none too thrilled when we moved out a couple of years later, we had done it without his permission.
Very cool! I shot Canon cameras from early on in my film days... I hat an FTB an AE1 and an F-1. My first digital was a Canon 7D... had that one for 10 years and updated to the very first R camera... had so many problems with that camera I ended up shooting Sony instead... a big change for me. Sorry to go on... great to see the AE1 here and it is so nice to think back fondly on my film days.
@kvphoto Don’t worry about going on. I love talking cameras. The AE1 was my first Canon but after that I went through several others, a canon Elan ii, a couple of different Powershots, a T3i, a 5Dii and a 70D. I also briefly had a Nikon F801 in the early 90’s that was gifted to me but that got stolen. Then I traded in my 5D on a SonyA7iii which is still my main camera although I also use a FujifilmXT20 for street photography. I do like my Sony very much, a wonderful and capable camera but there is just something about film.
