Years ago I bought a 35mm Nikon FG-20 for $30 at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. It’s tiny, but hefty, and was the perfect antidote to my giant, obtrusive and somewhat unwieldy digital Nikon D700. On days when my shoulders just couldn’t take the weight of the digital, I’d pull out the little 35 mm and roam the streets of Paris a little lighter, my shoulders a lot happier. It’s manual focus, so it takes forever and a day to frame everything up the way I want it, and I’m a little pickier in what I shoot because it’s so much more limited, but the results are just fantastic.
In our six weeks abroad, I managed to shoot 1.5 rolls of film. I took a bag full of film, but I only actually used 1.5 While I’m sad I didn’t think to shoot more, I’m so happy with what I did. Thanks for the developing & scanning Richard Photo Lab!
