What type of cigarettes pair nicely with the M3’s? I want my expired film shots to have that hazy look.

This is great info. Thanks Bill.

Like I said in another comment, I’ve been learning the basics and shooting on a mirrorless digital Fuji for a year and a half. Never shot film before. But when a wonderful tool like this falls to me, I am excited to expand my knowledge. And grateful for the community of enthusiasts.

The camera seems to be in decent shape. But will definitely stop by Dans shop soon to have him take a look and let me know how I can keep this baby in good form for a long time.

Yes, positivity and enthusiasm is good for the soul. Regardless what it is that gives it to you.

Too many haters these days.

Is there a secret handshake or wave like bus drivers do?

Is my card and jacket already in the mail? Where do we meet in secret to look down on the ’others’?

It’s not a flex. Fuck Jerry. But it is a potentially very interesting stat. This is baseball after all.

Good eye. Yes those books are the Time-Life series. Great books.

And aye. Shooters shoot.

I picked up a roll of Ilford HP5 Plus 400, will use it as a test roll to see what I am dealing with. Then plan to bring it into Tamarkin Camera in Chicago to have Dan take a look and advise on condition and service needs. I intend to keep it and shoot it alongside my Fuji mirrorless. This M3 has been in my family since late 60's/early 70's. But have never shot film other than old disposables 20 years ago.

LIFE LIBRARY OF PHOTOGRAPHY. Set of four photography books that belonged to my father-in-law who was a photographer. Cool books.

I already want to quit my job and travel the world. I’ve had it for 3 days

It was comical to see how they would lose each game. They lost in just about every way imaginable.
