Trying my hand at film. Purchased this beautiful camera from a very good friend. This M2 was built in 1958, making it 67 years old and it works amazingly well. All mechanical with no light meter making me learn how to read light.
I like how film slows you down, making you more deliberate and intentional, no spray and pray. I also love the tactile feeling of loading, advancing and rewinding the film, pure joy!
Some of what I love is also what I don’t like. It is indeed very slow with long elapsed time to view your results. It also has limitations as you are stuck with the film stock you loaded. I tried film two years ago and gave up after a few month as I was missing the Immediacy of digital. This time I’m giving myself a year to fully immerse myself in the analog world to see if it’s for me before making a final decision.
