Remember 191 days ago when I said I wanted this project to be a learning experience? 

Today I tried to learn using a full manual Agfa Silette film camera.  No metering, restricted to 125th/60th/30th of a second shutter and a similar small selection of apertures.  I can't even see where I'm focusing, just guesswork (aka "zone focusing").

As a learning experience it was an exercise in frustration.  In terms of an outcome, it's an exercise in frustration.  Lesson learned, photography has moved on and I needn't bother with this kind of silliness again.

Having said that I have a new found respect for my parents who actually managed to get pics of me & my brother growing up with the same camera...  Film must have been cheap back then...
