My first roll… Kodak T-MAX 400 with a Nikon FE + Nikon Series E 50mm f/1.8 lens

5 Frames… Of taking Robert Palmer’s advice on Fomapan 200 Creative (35mm Format / EI 160 / Nikon EM + Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E)

Camera review: 14 years with the “invisible” Nikon FM3a
In January 2006, after 5 or so years of film photography with a combination of cheaper cameras (e.g., a Minolta SRT-101, a Fed-3 and an old Mamiya 35mm), I bought a like-new Nikon FM3A for $429 USD on eBay. Since then it has shot hundreds (if not thousands) of rolls of film, and has accompanied…
