A review of the Canon New F-1, a 1981 pro-level 35mm SLR. It and I did not bond. It was always in my way as I made photos.

Indy's Old Northside is simply gorgeous. It wasn't 30 years ago when I moved to town -- you didn't want to live here. Canon New F-1, 50/1.8 Canon FD S.C., Kodak Plus-X, Clayton F76+ 1+9. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Here's my review of the Agfa Optima, a very early (1959) autoexposure camera for 35mm film. Its clumsy usage was not endearing. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

Downtown Indianapolis, 2019. Nikon FA, 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 Zoom Nikkor, Agfa Vista 200. I have misplaced that lens. How the hell did I manage that? #believeinfilm #filmphotography

The Lincoln Highway Association claims that this is a later alignment of the road in Allen County, but it doesn't add up for me.
