Vintage Camera
Do you remember when cameras functioned with a reel/ film role ? And how it was impossible to view the picture until it was developed at a studio? Well those were indeed the days. No selfies, just plain natural pictures and 32-36 shots were your limit. No mistakes allowed but what fun was it to see those pictures come to life. Why not relive this great memory once more and even for the future generations to come. Vintage cameras taught us kids that patience is a virtue and to make the most of something with no second chances or guesses.
