Another wonderful aspect about film is all the fabulous old medium format cameras out there at bargain prices.
In my fifties I promised myself in my retirement a Pentax 6X7 and to have my now lost Voigtlander Bessa II folding camera professionally repaired and shoot landscapes with slow B+W film.
But frankly now even that joy doesn't come close to shooting nature with the D500 and great long lenses.
I still find myself weakening when looking through ebay at 4X5" plate cameras and having to give myself a slap and come back to reality, lovely the dream may be, I now realize the dream will be exactly that!
Todays shot!
