When I take a look at an old camera like this, it gives me two thoughts:

1. It seems like old school photographers must have had more skill and knowledge than than many of us do now.

2. Digital has sure made our lives easy...maybe too easy.

i would love to own a camera like this. jeddalyn07 · 2009-06-17: 00:13

I remember these - my father had an old one I used to play with when I was little :-) jet28 · 2009-06-17: 03:50

Just imagine the cost of film and the time spent in a darkroom and yes, you can say digital is much easier. I wouldn't have picked up what I have if we were still using film. :) Andre721 · 2009-06-17: 09:25

I agree with you. This is a cool camera and cool photo bamommy · 2009-06-17: 10:36

Do you have it now? Cool shot. joycephotography · 2009-06-17: 11:07

I would have to agree with you. jusshel39 · 2009-06-17: 15:08

yeah. they didn't have oversaturation in the industry like they do now. jezterr · 2009-06-18: 13:28

Neat picture. I think you're right. Even with digital, I have a massive failure rate. I just couldn't afford to do it with film. The people that used those things must have been very clever. Jarvo · 2009-06-18: 16:11

I'd like to have one like that in my very small collection!! domino · 2009-06-18: 22:26

great shot I been enjoying your blog I started a b/w film class and it has taught me so much but I do love my digital but I have come to appreciate the beauty that the time creates with film chrisbuchan · 2009-10-31: 11:09
