Canon AE-1: The Workhorse
written by fuzztone04 on 2008-11-17 #gear
Over this past summer, I took a Black and White photo class at my college. A week before the class I was panicking because I didn't have a 35mm SLR to use in the class. I work at Starbucks and one of my regular customers, Mike, happened to come in one day and I told him my problem. "I have this old Canon I don't use any more and I've been wanting to sell it. How about I let you borrow it and if you like it, you can buy it?" That sounded awesome to me. So long story short, Mike ended up just giving me the camera and 3 lenses for nothing(50mm f/1.8, 80-200mm Zoom f/4.5, and a 28mm f/2.8). This camera soon became my workhorse, and it never leaves my bag.

written by adi_totp on 2011-12-09 #gear
Why is it the long-lost black and white film? Because there's no more of this brilliant film in Indonesia! I bought this film for the first time in 2008 and from a friend who stayed in Surabaya so he had to send the films to Bandung. I just can't find any ERA Shantou these days. I will remember this film always.
