My dad gave me that Polaroid camera (far left)!
I’ve still gotta try it out soon to see if it still works. Let me know how your photos come out.

The Nikomat was my first manual SLR camera! I’ve since moved on to the Nikon F3 for most of my film photography.
Where do you get the film developed for your Super 8 video camera?

I shot this photo on the Nikon F3 with Portra 400 film. I used the Nikkor 28-70mm (1:3.5-4.5D) lens at f3.5 aperture setting.

Effect of different shutter speed and aperture.
• 1st photo: F3.5, 1/2000 sec exposure.
• 2nd photo: F22, 1/125 sec exposure.
I used the smaller aperture (F22) to experiment with deep focus, so l compensated with a longer exposure. The background details are sharper in the deep focus photo.

I installed new pad sensors and side/front panels earlier this year. The last thing I’m going to do is replace the volume potentiometer (which has been acting funny lately).
