Down to three shots left on the Lubitel, going to send in the roll for dev/scan along with some non-shitty camera ones when it's done.

The adventures of "What weird Soviet things can I find on eBay" has combined with my photography hobby. Film is in the mail, since I've never shot medium format before.

I have a water damaged copy of "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, 1977 edition" that I found at a library book sale once. Came with the little slide rule in the back and everything.

At least the M113 is an AMPHIBIOUS ugly square box with character.

Thanks! In return, I offer a picture of chicken.

From what I've heard the TTArtisan meter isn't as good as a Gossen or Sekonic, but I like the kinda analog feel, and it should be ballpark accurate for most films that aren't like slide film.

A light meter mounted on top of a Honeywell Pentax H1a. It has a dial each for aperture and shutter speed. And LEDs to display over or underexposure.

I love watching my family's chickens just doing chicken things.

I haven't settled on a color film of choice yet, but my B+W is Ilford HP5+ at about $10-12 USD per roll. These were taken at 400, currently trying the next roll at 800 since it's darker in the winter and I've heard it pushes well

Documenting the holidays with my Grandpa's camera.

I picked this one up because it came with a lens I wanted to use with my DSLR. Basically a freebie. Definitely not going to make film my primary shooting though because oh god the prices. i just wish there was a cheap pancake lens that had CPU contacts for metering.
