So apparently it is all about the gear. Or at least about the gear that isn't expensive. 

This little Nikon F80 is a gem of a camera.

A set of pure randomness, #Nikonf80 #pointandshoot #kodak5222 #doublex
Delayed post of August 2025 #Modweekender2025.  Having to wait that little longer for the film lab to develop my film.

Selection of Kodak Gold on #35mm and #120.
Had a bit of a change around in my camera inventory.  I sold my #Chamonix45n2 4x5 large format gear.  Whilst I loved that camera, it was too clunky for my type of photography.
