The legend. And for good reason. There is a lot of hype flying around about many film cameras. This is the only camera that fully warrants it. A big claim. But:

  1. It is my opinion, not fact.
  2. Your mileage may vary.
  3. That is about it…

Why do I think this? I could go and have gone on about this, but it mainly boils down to two things.

  1. I have enjoyed using this camera every single time I have picked it up.
  2. I have enjoyed the images produced with this camera every single time.

As much as I like other cameras I cannot say this about any other camera. Simple.

This time out I decided to kill some time while waiting for my food to be ready at a favorite local restaurant. The film for the occasion was Kodak Gold 200 which was developed at home with Cinestill CS41.

Happy capturing.
