Just like some people like to maintain and drive classic cars, I love to photograph with classic camera's. It's not about nostalgia, but rather about the different experience of shooting with old mechanical cameras and the quality that still holds it's own next to modern digital equipment.
I love old Minolta camera's, but I prefer 645 and 6x6 format Yashica and Mamiya cameras.
I develop B&W film myself and dream of owning a real dark room again as opposed to scanning my negatives.
