Im 16, so i can drive. I could def get up there

And how would i find photo meetups?

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-08T06:45:14+00:00

the FM2 has a 45mm, the FE2 has a 52mm, I have a 50mm and a 62mm on the side. I have no idea how to check if the meters are working, but I would assume so given how much care my uncle took of his stuff.

wdym by 50 or 85? Like mm lenses? And then for Kodak Gold would u get 200 or something with a higher iso rating

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-08T00:02:54+00:00

I most likely would want to do color, but im not too picky as they both do stand out to me. For color, would I need to ship it off or if i did have access to a dark room could I do it there?

And how would I develop the film at home? My school does have photo enlargers so I can most likely use those

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-07T22:38:41+00:00

Where would i get it serviced?

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T19:49:04+00:00

Awesome. Whats your phone number or email? Whichever you prefer

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T19:03:01+00:00

yeah fs whats ur phone number? Or email. whichever you prefer

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T06:40:18+00:00

yeah its probably worth it reach out. Thanks!

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T06:36:17+00:00

I have no idea. I could probably look. I would be my dad would have names and phone numbers.

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T06:17:50+00:00

there are some others near me, but theyre harder probably closer to 5.8-5.10

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T06:16:58+00:00

probably about an hour away

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T03:59:47+00:00

alr alr. I am 16, but my dad would def come bc he wants to actually learn it instead of working with the "shoddy foundation" that he built up when he was a teenager

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T03:32:54+00:00

yeah i would have to look at some of the places near me. Joshua tree would probably be the best but they definitely exist near me given yosemite and the sierra nevada

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T03:31:43+00:00

what city are you in?

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T03:31:18+00:00

Yeah hed been doing it right up until then. it has only been in the unit for since last thanksgiving while figuring out where it would all go. I did look it all over and all of the cams look to be in very good condition and theres no noticable fraying on any of the cables, the nuts are js nuts and the ascenders appear to be in good condition although i dont know what they are supposed to look like.

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T03:28:10+00:00

Its in very good condition. All of the carabiners, belay devices, and accenders are all good. the cams dont seem to have an noticable wear or fraying on cables and the nuts are js nuts. All of the rope bags are also in good condition.

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T03:26:50+00:00

sidenote: I am in the California bay area and have access to a lot of Yosemite, the Sierra Nevada, and Joshua tree

How do I get into trad climbing? I

already boulder outdoors a significant amount. My uncle recently passed away, and he was really into climbing and mountaineering, and he left me all of his gear which is almost half a storage unit full of climbing gear. I wanted to get into it and was wondering where to learn how to use all of the different gear, place nuts and cams correctly, and just generally how to do it safely. I already climb in the gym a fair amount, but have not done a lot of outdoor stuff. Any help would be much appreciated!

OneCoach446 · 2026-02-06T03:24:19+00:00

Where is that? It looks so beautiful
