Minolta X-700
The hub and I had an early Christmas together...because we just can't wait!! He surprised me with an old Minolta film camera and I freaking love it :) It's completely manual and the sound of rolling the film back after each shutter release is just heavenly...A few pics below from my first roll.

these are beautiful.
So great! When I started my first photography class in high school I was using my dads Canon A1 film camera. The light meter on it didn't work so I had to really know my stuff when I used it! It really helped when I switched over to digital, because I had that extra knowledge behind me and wasn't dependent on the camera :) I must say I love digital, but that sound of the film rolling back... there really is nothing else like it :)
Oh my goodness...I LOVE IT!!!
Wow gorgeous!!! Film is wonderful, but sadly a bit too pricey for me :( dang it.
Love these shots!!!!!
