Toronto. We frequently host events populated by camera collectors searching for hardware to expand their collection or user gear (like our July 12th Trunk Sale).
With the advent of digital technology and smartphones with good built-in cameras, film based systems have faded into history – except for those few die hards who use film for the specific look created by analogue processes.
Today, those who aren’t niche film enthusiasts, need to know that some newer film cameras are alive and well. We know about the Lomography offerings, many based on the inexpensive Diana camera, but this one is a high end film camera (a trio actually). The cameras named Smartflex are SLR cameras reminiscent of days long gone. They are discussed by Hillary K. Grigonis in the latest Digital Camera World magazine/post.
If you lust after film technology, get ready to drool reading Ms Grigonis’ article. If you just like photography, have a read and learn!
