i anticipate *love*. : )

...I love it when folks dump their film bodies on Ebay for a song. Film may be waning, but it's never been better; and we have digital too. Great time to be
into photography. (adding another Minolta here, since the Pentax Super Program I had my eye on got away from me...)

I have been buying way too many filmbodies on e-bay lately. But it is fun to put a roll of film and test em.
Actually, I did a weekend trip to paris a week ago with just B&W film, left my DSLR at home.
