We used to use film but when everything became digital, so did our cameras since you could keep taking pictures over and over again and just delete the ugly ones. Awesome that you have a vintage camera by the way.

Cameras nowadays may largely be digital, but understanding the basics of an older 35mm camera, such as light metering, aperture opening, shutter speed, and depth of focus are still basic skills that'll make anyone a better photographer.

I have a 1980s Minolta but it doesn't exactly work anymore, it likes to take pictures when it wants and not when I want it to.

And I forgot to say the pentax k1000 was my pops camera he used to take to war he gave it to my mother after he died. and then passed to me because my history of photography is way better than other people in my family as my mother said to me + it was given to me when I was 12-13 years old.

I have used that big camera that shoots out grayish photos when you take the pic then they dry off into a color pic. They work really well and are faster and easier! :D
