Based in the US midwest, I enjoy film photography, collecting old cameras and cars, and spending time with the wife and pups.

I recently bought this dirty 1964 #NikonF after looking for a long time. It's much less dirty now, and the 50/2 isn't in use as the focus ring is frozen. But I love it and will never part with it.

I'm a sucker for an old 35mm camera I haven't tried before. One camera I brought home in 2024 was a #voigtlanderbessamatic and have two rolls through it so far. These photos being from the latest, Fuji 400. It's a fun SLR with a solid build and a few little quirks to remind you it's old.

Fatbiking at Camrock a few days ago with an old friend. Brought along a Nikon F with the little 50/1.8

I've been itching to get an original Nikon F for a few years now and had a few fall through my fingers. Finally broke down and bought this scraggly untested early 63 model. After some love it's in good working order and here are a few shots from it's first roll. #nikonf #expiredfilm #b&wfilm

Crystal Brite lens tissue. When I first saw them, I thought it said Crytral Blitz, a little bummed it doesn’t. #nikkor

With the foggy weekend and a new b&w film I was dying to try, I popped over to Blackhawk Sunday morning. At the bottom of the hill some biathlon folks were target shooting. The random rifle fire was an odd reminder I wasn’t there alone.

Using the SR-7 for the first time took minimal adjustment. I'm accustomed to using SRTs, and the XE-7 is one of my favorite SLRs

I'd like to introduce myself to this community with two of my favorite things. Film photography and vintage cars. I've had this 1969 Porsche 912 for around fifteen years now. Picture taken using a #contaxrts with a planar 50/1.4 on the front. It's one of my favorites.
