Sam's new camera

Since I was last active on 365 my son Sam has discovered film photography.

We bought him a vintage Voigtlander camera for Christmas, and he adores it. Made in 1962, it is as good as new! I can't wait to see what he does with it.

How very cool

neat . I have my dads but have never used it.

What is this 'film' of which you speak? ;)

[Sean O'Neill]

@humphreyhippo He is so old school!

[Humphrey Hippo]

@seanoneill I can sort of see the appeal if you have your own dark room, but I don't think I'll ever be tempted back to film.

Now doesn't this say, "textures. that's what you get." Do share some of the images your son gets from this one.

[Sean O'Neill]

@jyokota I will. I am aiming to shoot a roll of film on it when we visit him in Feb at University in Exeter.

[Junko Y]

@seanoneill - looking forward to seeing results!

[Simply Amanda]

Love that he shares your passion. Will he 365?

[Pat Knowles]

Couldn't have a better interest, it could take him places!

Does he have a Rega Planar in his room too? Tried film for a while, but I guess I’m too old to be retro and too young to be nostalgic.

This is a great shot, nice focus. And good news he's away at university.

[Jocasta]

How fabulous to share a hobby with your son.

[Kathy A]

Great shot! I hope he has a lot of fun using that

Lucky lad! It looks lovely. Film is making a comeback... largely due to youngsters like Sam.
