I love old cameras. I collect old cameras. It is a shame that film is becoming more scarce and obsolete. I am just like the rest of you who have gone to the dark side of digital. A few weeks ago I developed a roll of velvia film I had in my Yashica camera. I recently finished up the roll at a friends baby's birthday party. I haven't used the camera before that in maybe two years. I got it cross processed and to my delight when I got it back were photos from a trip to Indonesia two years ago, photos from Australia and photos from a surf contest in Huntington Beach three years ago. That is why I love film. It isn't instant gratification, but it is PURE gratification.
