So my mum found two of her old film cameras, an Olympus AZ-330 and a Nikon FM2. I've never thought about getting into film photography (an expensive hobby which I'm too cheap for), but after cleaning the cameras (which is apparently something Brian enjoys watching me do), the photographer in me is dying to at least try them out.
I intend on sending the cameras for repair and getting film after, but I don't see this being a long term investment. Like I said, I'm too much of a kedekut.
It's not the purchase of the film that discourages me, but the actual usage of it. I'd always be too careful about how the film is used, and would be hesitant to "waste" it on candid shots. And I know that is stupid of me because candids are almost always the golden moment. But I just can't help it. And I know this for a fact because my mum's old Fujifilm Instax 200 is not fulfilling its purpose as a camera, thanks to its cautious owner.
Haihh. What to do? :(
No seriously, that is not a rhetorical question. I'm open to suggestions on what I should do with the Nikon and Olympus.
