Diary: A low-tech future

A friend of mine has gone digital and gave me his old film camera, which he doesn’t use anymore. It is a Canon, a small rangefinder with a fixed 40mm lens.

Call me a Luddite if you want, but I get just as excited holding an old camera in my hands as any of the high-tech-multi-mega-pixel ones. Thank you Mr. You Know Who You Are, I promise to put it to good use.

One of the wonders of the Internet is that I can type in the name of the camera in Google and up comes not only fan clubs for this kind of camera, but the original manual too. Got to love that smug expression on the model’s face.
