#ricoh#ricoh tf 500#ricoh tf-500#film camera#i fuckin. LOVE FILM#took a class in high school and have kept on shooting rolls here n there ever since#i thrifted this guy in Oct 2019 (junior year of uni i believe) and it cost less than half of the price of its battery#yeah i bought a camera before knowing whether or not it even worked. went to goodwill on a whim and decided i wanted to find a film cam#and then i did. and then i put a fresh $14 battery in it and it MADE SOUNDS#the first time i loaded film (did it in the bathroom w the lights off bc we love getting extra exposures) it took me like. 5 tries.#which is real embarrassing bc i had the instructions. this is an automatic camera it advances the film for you. baby stuff#(shoutout to Michael Butkis for obsessively scanning old film cam manuals and uploading them on the web for free. you're a cool dude.#)#film photography#snowswords#i recommend this cam btw. the viewfinder's photo borders aren't accurate at all but that's my only complaint#and that's a forgivable crime. just stand a lil further back then you think you should#I've taken this cam around uni and my hometown and the pkng lot at work and tomorrow I'm bringing it on a hike w friends#who have their own film cams their relatives were keeping around!! both of em are skeptical about film but they'll see#or they won't. either way it'll be a fun hangout#and the day after I'm gonna see#horsesrcool22#and her horse!!!! I'll bring the Ricoh for that too!!#oh yes and the Ricoh joined H and me on a trip to H's fave used bookstore a couple months ago#i love this lil guy. it's from the late 80s and it's still kickin. how cool is that#film is so pricy tho (the rolls themselves and the cost of developing the negatives). a reason to vie for raises i guess#image id in alt text
