    It's not about how expensive your camera is. It's not about using the highest end gear. It's about the crunchwrap supreme extra large baja blast combo and a beautiful sunset.

    I unabashedly love Gold 200, and always will. No matter how many different films I use, Gold 200 will always be that warm blanket waiting at home. It was the first film I ever used (because it was all I had access to), and the results I got with it were what hooked me on film photography.

    The statement about how all you need is a camera that works is so true: I've been shooting on a $16 Minolta Freedom Zoom 105-i, a weird looking point and shoot, and the results I've gotten are fantastic. Go buy a used camera and give it some love

    I love the feature of the 'late age' film cameras. That is how I started. The first camera i ever owned was a film camera, a Minolta Maxxum 4. I picked it up for 50 bucks. I was very grateful I got a camera like that, because the autofocus and "it will do everything for you mode" was nice has a first time photographer. I later inherited my grandmother's AE-1, but I am glad I didn't start there.

    The AE-1 is more popular cause it has that 1970's film camera vibe. The Elan feels like shooting a modern camera with the iso stuck at 6400 with a tiny memory card. Modern Canon lenses really do render colors wonderfully.

    I have some god tier level cameras such as the Minolta A7 (it has a 1/8000 shutter speed and auto focus) you can still buy a Minolta (Sony) A7 for about $150. It's actual qualities sits somewhere between a Nikon F4 and F6 and alongside the Minolta Alpha A9 (the Minolta A9 has a 1/16000 shutter, which is unheard of in any camera since) as god tier film SLRs which are for some reason underlooked, I also have a MUP (Mamiya Universal Press) which is now only just receiving the notoriety it deserves (more so the Polaroid version) as the Polaroid Goose which now has printable Instax backs. I also have a Konica AR based FS-1 as the first mechanical film camera with an auto winder (again Konica is only beginning to be recognised for it's AR lenses). All of these are great cameras.
    The point is, sometimes it's worth it to shoot with a camera everyone else hates especially with film, because that just means the gear is cheaper for you to buy, and you can laugh at everyone else for paying too much. I bought all of these cameras before their prices will inevitably go up.

    I've had an AE-1 for a while and I love it. With that being said... my girlfriend has a late model Canon Rebel 35mm (one of the last models they made?) that she snagged for $20. It takes incredible pictures and is FAR lighter and more nimble than my AE-1. I don't regret buying my AE-1, but looking back, I kinda wish I had gotten something less overvalued. We both used Portra 400 and hers look a bit more crisp and modern than mine.

    It’s interesting how much more attention Gold200 is getting now that it costs what Portra did 2 years ago. It’s always been great and it’s good to see it get the live it deserved. Can’t wait to shoot it on 120.
