The best part about shooting film is forgetting everything I’ve captured - until the moment it’s developed. Feels like a little time capsule. Got some great shots this morning.

My dad used to have a Cannon like that in the late 80's/early 90's wasn't the exact same model but very very similar.
The ae-1 is a stellar and simple and cheap body. Limited to 1000th shutter speed but that’s okay. I shoot low iso
I beg your pardon🙏🏻. I've just spent 10 minutes tracking it down, it wasn't even a Cannon🙄😂. It was an Olympus OM10. They do look kind of similar though!
Those are cool too! Never had one though
I'm not really a camera person but I think it's a good camera, it cost a lot of money way back in the day, my dad took loads of pictures with it, produces good results👌🏻.
Nice camera! Was shooting on one of these back in 1990. Went through many models around that time including a Canon T90. Really should get back into it…
You should!
Yep, I intend to. Was very passionate about photography for 30 years or so, both film and then digital. Looking back, the number of cameras and lenses I went through is kinda ridiculous. It would be nice to go back to the beginning with a simple setup. I also need to sit down one day and digitise all the negatives and positives/slides that currently sit in storage. 😅
Yeah, I’ve gone through a number of cameras and lenses. My set up now is pretty simple. My main camera is like a M262 but I’m shooting now with this AE 1 because my friend sent some film to me for an old cars project that I’m doing. I used to have a Nikon ED 8000 film scanner, but I got rid of that a while ago.
What is the film development market like these days? Are there still local places where you can drop it off?
AE-1 is a tank, mines literally as old as I am, been dropped, rained on, beaten up in every possible way and still functions perfectly.
Yeah, it really is wait until you feel a canon F1. that’s the other that I have 
Omg. That would be so fun. I remember those days when I took photos with my parents' camera. I had some messed up shots but it was all part of the fun. Lots of laughs. 8 year Olds take the best photos. 😂
Sometimes those mistakes are happy mistakes!
This is how I feel when I get comments and zaps on nostr 😂 I forget all about whatever I said until someone responds
🤣
I remember this camera from the mid 70s when I first got into photography. I aways wanted it but couldn't afford it so I bought my first SLR, the Pentax K1000 for $100. My, how inflation has soared!
Wish I still had that camera!
