About Me
I started this site because when I first picked up a 35mm camera, I felt overwhelmed. Too much confusing advice, too many expensive recommendations.
So I decided to build the resource I wish I had clear, beginner-friendly, and actually useful. Every camera I review, I’ve tested myself. Every tip I share, I’ve learned through real experience (and many wasted rolls of film!).
My Go To Gear
- Camera: Canon AE-1 Program / Nikon FM2
- Favorite Film: Kodak Portra 400 / Ilford HP5+
- Scanner: Epson V600
