I still like to put film through my Canon F-1 but only about 2-3 rolls a year now. Mostly it is just cheap Konika 100 ISO colour stuff at 2 bucks a roll, on special at Foxy Fast Fotos. It is somewhat ugly stuff as you can see. I still have rolls of Panatomic-X 32ASA in my freezer.
Now I have a new Canon DSLR, I'll now wear this one out like I tried to wear out my F-1. I'll photograph my F-1 and put a shot in my gallery, people will not believe this camers. The F-1 has been in the South Tasman Sea and in the Pacific Ocean and it still doesn't miss a beat, even after being submurged twice.
awesome thanks heaps for the info... I'm trying to learn as many of the things you can't learn from books on film as I can as I'm very much considering in investing a large chunk of my passion to analogue.
Mike, I don't miss being immersed to my wrists in chemicals or breathing the fumes when processing film or making prints ... but I do miss the feel of an old fashioned camera with the larger formats ... but even that is changing.
Good luck with what you shoot and do Mate. I think your images are very fine. Being a Sydney photographer, you are following on from some of the Greats, like Harold Cazneaux and David Moore, ... I can see the heritage.

Most flattering and thankyou again Mate.

Lizette Model is the photographer who's work this is similar to. The moment I took the shot, i could see Model's Parisian influence.
