This is the person who wanted to take pictures of the unborn baby. I even made a gonic and took pictures. Manual is too difficult.. 20% of the pins are gone.. but it's still so much fun. You hear the sound every time you wind the film, and it feels light, but when you press the fairly heavy shutter, it feels great to record one picture at a time! I think I got off to a good start. I will hold an event soon with a small gift!
