I had to look it up... (I’m terrible at remembering names)
So this fountain in Brussels is a work of art by Pol Bury

Good for a test of my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s

Let's show a new collection of a film camera buy and test !

Years ago, I bought a Hi-Matic 7s.
Luckily for me, I was able to buy my collection of cameras before the analogue revival happened.
So I was able to buy loads of cameras for around 20 euros each .
It’s always nice to test something out with film ! I always had something to test with in my bag. You don’t actually need much to use a camera.
You’ve got your film, your subject, the aperture and your shutter speed.

@LievenSymaeys @photography What always put me off film was getting the things developed seeing as I did not have the skills or desire to create a darkroom. The challenge for me with digital is getting something that looks good straight out of the camera - not always easy. Now, if someone could create a small portable darkroom, then I might give film another look, maybe 🙂

@[email protected] it exist: https://www.retrocamera.be/en/film-development/darkroom-supplies/changing-bags basically you empty your film in the bad to put it in a Paterson roll then you can develop the film inside the Paterson in broad day light, generally in your bathroom.
Changing bags - Darkroom (film development)

No darkroom available and still want to develop your films yourself? Load your 35mm and 120 film on reels from your film developing tank safely in one of our lightproof changing bags.

I completely understand, but that problem has actually been sorted out. First and foremost, you should check if there’s a lab in your neighbourhood, town or region... In my town, I’m sure there are labs that develop my film and scan it professionally for me. I’m not a hardcore analogue freak myself; I leave the chemicals and the scanning to the professionals. It’s better for the results and for the environment too! But I only shoot analogue. For the simplicity of operating the camera and for the love of film and the image
