Most of us in our camera club began our photographic journey taking pictures on film. With the advent of digital photography, many predicted the demise of film photography, but this is far from the case today.
In the past few years, there has been a remarkable resurgence of interest in vintage film cameras and lenses, especially amongst young photographers in the 18 to 30-year-old age bracket. Older SLR cameras have increased in value and film is once again being stocked in photo stores.
This presentation explores this “rebirth” of interest in film photography and the allure of old cameras and lenses. The presenters share some of their vintage camera collection as well as photos taken with those cameras. In addition, the audience will learn about ways to recondition old cameras and lenses that may have been languishing in an old cupboard and get them working again. The presentation also reviews the types of film currently available.
