My parents recently moved from the house I lived in during high school to a condo, and have been looking to get rid of stuff that’s been sitting in boxes in the basement for the past 10 years.

Lucky for me, they had some old camera gear that I’m looking forward to putting to good use.

\- Pentax ME Super 35mm film camera  
\- Pentax-M 28mm f/3.5 lens  
\- Pentax-M 50mm f/2.0 lens  
\- Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 lens  
\- Pentax-M 135mm f/2.5 lens  
\- Off-brand 35-70mm f/3.5-5.6 lens

This is actually my 4th film camera, but after playing around with it for a few minutes, it feels awesome, and I think it’ll quickly become my go-to when I’m looking to shoot film.
