    Getting Started in Film Photography for Under $50

    June 1, 2018 / No Comments

    Film photography has generated a lot of interest recently, but not everyone is willing to plunge in and spend hundreds of dollars on gear if they’re not quite sure.  Others are interested in getting the gear, but aren’t quite sure if they can get their head around fully-manual cameras or be able to handle manual focusing.  At a relatively low cost, you can dip your toe into film photography and see if it’s right for you.  For digital shooters, here is a way to get started in film photography for under $50. This post is written from the perspective of a lifelong Canon shooter, but many of these suggestions carry over…

    Nevis is a 36 square-mile island, the center of which is Nevis Peak, which rises 3,232 feet. Nevis was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, and was named “Nuestra Senora de Las Nieves,” “Our Lady of the Snows,” a description of the small cloud, resembling snow, which is nearly always present at its peak.
