Box cameras with waist level view finders are a fun departure from the modern DSLR cameras. While camera technology has greatly improved, the process of “taking pictures” can become routine and monotonous. But going back to the beginning, using film cameras helps to make photography exciting again. Enter the Argus Seventy-Five and 620 film. One

Instead of starting with the Argus seventy-five, I have decided to begin this film journey with the canon ft ql. In my excitement to get started, I mistakenly loaded film wrong. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ I was able to fix but will not be able to take the full 36 images. Lesson learned for next time around.

I am starting at square one with film photography. I need to gather some materials. To start, I need to get some film. The first camera I will start working with is the Argus Seventy-five. It takes 620 film. During the initial launch of this camera, there was only black and white film, but I
