My foray back into film started on a whim. I was cleaning up my old K1000 which developed a light leak in 2006 and got this bright idea to get one for parts on ebay or something. After a few minutes I realized I could get a nice functioning K1000 for 30 bucks. Then the insanity began as I started to think. I love love my new K7 but there has been something missing from my experience. Something that I wanted back, and I realized as I was purchasing the K1000 that it was film that was missing.
Within moments I realized I wanted to shoot film again and I wanted to develop my own black and whites. I had a little money to burn so I ran to one of the last camera shops still standing in town and bought the chemicals reels and several rolls of film. Back at the computer I accidentally bought a ME Super. So fast forward - ME Super came - I loaded a roll and shot it and quickly started developing and it was fun as hell. In the week or so after that I bought a back ME Super a Super A and a back up Super A and now my wife wants to kill me and I am done. I just got a little out of control. The cool part is all my lenses work on my cameras so I look at it as a win. Now back to developing, I was rusty and relearning how with the new chemicals out there but can I just say, my fun level with photography is way back up there like when I was 13 and I got my K1000. I am having a blast....
