In the first volume,I share what it was like to shoot my first roll of film
Back in June 2018 a few of my friends had film cameras and were playing around with them and I wanted to try one out. So I did what most people do I asked my parents if they had kept their film cameras. To luck, they had kept both of them First a Pentax P30n with 2 lenses but unfortunately, the film advance on this one wasn’t working. So that left me with the second camera the Minolta Riva Zoom 75w Champene compact.
I grabbed a battery to test it out and it came to life maybe 10 years since being used! Stoked to see that the camera was alive I went to the local camera store and picked up a roll of Kodak Ultramax 400 24exp. For the next few weeks, I carried the camera everywhere with me!
So what did I learn?
First up I learned that I really enjoyed using a film camera definitely want to do it more!
Secondly, I noticed that the camera autofocus wasn’t working quite right…
After the first roll, I went to load a second and the camera actually died on me then and there ;(
I also learned that buying 24exp rolls was a waste of money as it costs the same developed a 36exp roll
Now I was on the hunt for a new camera ready to eager to shoot more
So there began my film journey one roll in and I have got the bug and broken my camera.
Stay tuned for more Roll with me Adventures
