Hooray!
So here I am, with a mostly functioning SX-70 which was given to my father as a gift in the 70's. The non-functioning part of it is some kind of fungal bloom on the back of the lens which I plan to sort out (although it does give pictures a dreamy quality)
My parents live in France and I was over there a couple of weeks ago. I took along a pack of TZ Artistic film bought from the Photographers' Gallery in London and we ran it through the camera.
PolaMagic occurred.
If only the film was less expensive, but that will be part of the pleasure of taking photos that matter again, rather than the disposable snapping of digital. Although I'll still be doing that too...
Fun!
