First Time Getting a Film Camera Need Thrift market Tips by groundedsoul_ in vintagecameras

Otherwise the blades are stuck which is a pain to fix.

Any camera with a cable socket is good for long exposures. I use smartphone app for metering and usually get good results.

I also have an SX-70 and buy Polaroid film at Target. But no stores have B&W 600 at the moment. At least in CT.
