I bought a 30 y/o film camera the other day, and I shot a roll of b/w with it . . .

Here is one example . . .

Oakland Cemetery

Atlanta, GA . . .

Quality never growa old.

It's a metal body camera, and it looks brand-new . . .

I love using it, but it's about a buck a shot . . .

What film stock?

Ilford HP-5 . . .

I mis-spoke about the costs . . .

That was calculating cost of the roll, and prints . . .

In this case, I just had them put the images on disc, and it was only $10 for processing . . .

I think the roll cost $8, so it's about 50cents per shot . . .

gargoyles!!

I shot this with a red filter, to add contrast and darken the sky . . .

Thanks.

I'm still partial to PlusXpan & TMax, but the C-41 B&W's have come a long way.

Could I talk you into emailing me the full resolution version of this photo when you get a chance? I'd like to take a closer look at it.

Thanks.

Awesome !

How emo of you.

Jet, you didn't say what kind of camera...

Whoops! I see thread title--'...Nikon...'

Any want to buy another Nikon FM?? Or a Hasselblad 500C?

hassy 500.....always wanted one back in the day. used to have a mamiya rb67.

Chief . . .

it's a Nikon FM ...

It's an old manual camera that was released in the late 70's . . .

Steve . . .

You can try Craig's List, or keh.com

keh.com is a used camera super-store, and they're based in Atlanta . . .

jet, I know.....I was just seeing if anyone here was looking for something nice and old. I'd rather sell it to someone I know would enjoy it then some stranger.

I had 2 RB67's before I went to Hassy's....the RB was getting too heavy to hand hold for weddings. lol

Still love my old Pentax K1000. Heavy as hell, everything is manual (the way I prefer), and I've taken it to Spain, taken it on hikes, etc.

I'm not sure you'll be able to get color film developed much longer, but that old Pentax always took great pix.

Steve, That Hasselblad 500C is a Very Nice Camera . . .

pac, I'm sure you could locate a lab that would do mail-order . . .

#19 From what I hear, there's only one Kodak-endorsed or authorized left. I don't know how about others. I have to admit I've become lazy and have been using a cheap digital in the last couple of years. That, plus all of the lenses and gear I like to take with that camera weigh a ton, and I usually have carry-on, a couple of checked bags. One day I may just opt for a digital SLR.
