I have an old Altix N film camera (which acts as an ornament on my desk) but decided to load it with some film to see if it still works! This is a difficult camera to use. You have to take manual exposure readings from a light meter and then guess how far the subject is!

I know exactly what you mean, 'couse I'm used to work in that way when I shot with my Rollei. But even thought it's it can seem an uncomfortable and surpassed approach to the photography I think it's still the best way to really feel or imagine the picture. And the result, here, can confirm this reasoning: high & low lights are perfect, although the grain the detail is great as the composition. Very well done work. Ps: Sorry for my poor english and my compliments for you beautiful portfolio.
