So about a week ago I was rummaging through some of the clutter in my room when I came across my dads old pentax MX (the lenses from which I've borrowed to use on my 40D) and I was suddenly struck by a desire to do some photography with film. I've had a play around with it before with no film in and love the massive split prism viewfinder combined with the smooth manual focussing.
Being 17 my only experience with film was disposable cameras as a child, never used it "properly". So here a week later and I have a few rolls of superia 200 and am only waiting on the little batteries for the meter. I'm not hoping to get stunning results or replace my digital kit (out of the question for wildlife and macro which are my main interests and I love my 40D for this), but there's just something about capturing and image in an analogue medium that appeals to me for some reason, and I find the cameras themselves fascinating mechanically.
Shame developing the photos myself is pretty much out of the question, because that would be a whole new experience as well.
Lets hope it doesn't just turn into a surprisingly expensive mistake :bonk:
