My Cameras
4 cameras in rotation, each with its own quirks and character.
Kodak Duoflex II
The Kodak Duoflex II is a beautiful vintage TLR that makes shooting medium format feel tactile and intentional. Its simple controls and iconic design are perfect for slow, thoughtful film work, and I love the character it brings to square-frame portraits and street scenes.
Agfamatic 2008
The Agfamatic 2008 is my go-to camera for spontaneous moments. Its pocketable size makes it easy to carry everywhere, and the 110 film format gives a unique, nostalgic look to the shots.
Why I Love It
- Ultra-compact, drop-in cartridge loading
- Simple point-and-shoot operation
- Charming 70s design and vintage aesthetic
- Perfect for street photography and travel
Pentax SP2
The Pentax SP2 is my main 35mm camera for more serious photography. It’s a robust and reliable SLR with excellent build quality and a wide range of compatible lenses.
Why I Love It
- Solid metal construction
- Bright viewfinder
- Accurate light meter
- Compatible with many M42 mount lenses
- Simple, intuitive controls
- Classic 70s design
My Experience
I found this camera at a local camera shop in excellent condition. It came with a 50mm f/1.8 Takumar lens, which is incredibly sharp. The camera has never let me down, and the light meter is surprisingly accurate for its age. The M42 mount gives me access to a wide range of affordable, high-quality lenses.
Rollei B35
The Rollei B35 is one of the smallest full-frame 35mm cameras ever made, and it still feels incredibly well built for its size. No rangefinder, just zone focusing and a built-in light meter - it forces you to slow down and guess distances, which is part of the fun.
Why I Love It
- Genuinely pocketable, solid German engineering
- Sharp little Triotar lens
- Great for quick, unobtrusive street shots
- Looks as good as it shoots
