A New Challenge

Just as I thought I had nothing to do a new challenge presented itself.  For some time I have been interested in trying to use film again.  Mr Ebay presented me with an opportunity so I am now the proud owner of a new, old twin lens reflex camera.  It appears to be in good condition so a roll of film will glide past it's shutter in the coming week and we will see how it operates. This is the new toy.
PS I am glad I drive a twin cab ute - this thing weighs a ton!!
As a boy, the camera I used to take photos for a number of years was the "Pucky 1" (it is still under the house and has a roll of film in it).  I was interested to see that these are still being traded in the vintage camera markets.  The marketing guys must have been on something pretty serious to come up with that name.
