I still shoot digital, but shooting film especially after so many years on digital only feels like a get to closer to the photography. It kind of feels like I’m starting fresh again, and I get to do that again which makes me so happy. I get to experience being new to something I love so much. That’s powerful.

I just shot my first roll of film (Harmon Phoenix) — I really enjoyed it not only because I love the look but because I found myself thinking more about the shots as opposed to being a bit more willy nilly when I’m shooting digital. It allowed me to get shots that were really special and also be more present in the moment! I can’t wait to shoot my next roll!

I am new to shooting film and I love it, I actually have an Ektar H35N and I think it’s a fabulous camera — being half-frame reduced some if the anxiety I feel about getting the perfect shot, I snap away and feel delighted by many of the results. I’m not commenting for the competition, but sharing because I hope someone else gets a chance to enjoy film. If I win this accidently, I’ll give the camera away!

Film is fun! The process and experience of shooting with film is very different to that of digital, and it’s something I really enjoy.

I like shooting on film, because it makes the moment special. I then forget about the shot, and have a nice memory on film a few days/weeks later.

Thank you 😁 I think it’s gonna be a good one.

Very excited about the 800 film comparison. You go about photography in such a scientific way, and yet the artistry is definitely still there.

Oh yes! Gary is in a good place and he’s got the right experience. Looking forward to seeing this camera in people’s hands.

Hk does have a history of cameras with some yashica and Pentax being made there.

It does look very nice 🤔

I will gladly see all of my current analogue photo gear for the Rollei 35AF.

Looks like Pentax will announce their new camera on YouTube at 1PM PST today! m.youtube.com/watch?v=_9sn…

Totally. Improving upon vintage cameras we had in the film heyday AND beating used gear price is a tall order. Still, a warranty and just being able to get one at a camera store (not eBay) may be a huge deal to some. I certainly had reservations about buying my first vintage camera!

It’s no K1000, but you take what you can get, I guess.

Arrived here via a link from Canny Cameras. Long time photographer, I was using Lomo cameras before Lomography ever existed. Always glad to support analogue (and vintage! digital) communities.

I quite like Harman Phoenix 200, I have shot three rolls and got some pretty decent results. It responds pretty well to Camera scanning too.

I shoot film because I enjoy it. Took my first photo in the early 70’s and still shooting film today.

Film is for creating emotion, the grain hiding the precision but representing the world in a human analog way. You can digitally sample all you want but you can never recreate the emotions in a print, or even a scan of a negative.
