I purchased my first film camera off eBay in September 2019. While I have been shooting digital for over 16 years, I wanted to try something new (or old). Here are some of my favorite photos I've captured with the Minolta Autocord MXV Twin Lens Reflex (made in 1955).
I am currently working with Kodak Portra 400 but may try some different film types soon. I use a light meter app on my iPhone and it has worked pretty well so far. All images have not been edited in anyway. I have my photos developed in San Clemente, California by The Darkroom. Benefit of using them is they mail you back your negatives.
