6. My first self-bought camera was a Rolleiflex - 1965?

Don't remember the model but it didn't have a built-in light meter so I had to spend several months' earnings to get one.

So many cameras in the interim. My father's Leicas with film still inside (unprocessable after 30 years). Old Polaroids, Kodaks, probably 5-10 point-and-shoot and many varieties of newer digitals.

Still, it's just taking the picture at the right time with a decent composition.

Nice work. Old Crank Aug 2023 #1

That scanner actually cuts the workflow, because it happily changes colour negs to B&W positives GoneOffShore Aug 2023 #3

I don't think you lost anything in converting to grayscale. erronis Aug 2023 #4
