I collect vintage cameras. Some of mine are over 100 years old. I have over 40 so far and am always on the lookout for more finds. Usually when I get them, they are all gross and covered in guck and stuff. I take those ones apart and clean them from the inside out and/or make repairs. My very first old camera was a Polaroid spectra my dad gave me when I was little. I instantly fell in love with film and he went on to show me how to load and shoot 35mm cameras. Now I shoot with 120, 620, and 116 film cameras. You can't buy 620 or 116 film anymore, but I just buy 120 film and re-spool it onto old 620 spools. It's so much fun.

No, i do have a photographers eye though.I used to splice audio tape back in the cassette tape days... You have to respool in a darkroom dont you?

Cool! Yes it has to be completely dark. I'm almost done setting up my darkroom actually and will be able to spool, develop, and make prints in the same place soon. @lakergoy
