Below are some older shots taken with a Canon FT QL 35mm film camera + 50mm f/1.8 lens. I was introduced to this camera by my wife Christine's Aunt Mary, who was quite the photographer when she was younger. I always love looking at her pictures at my wife's parent's house running up their staircase.
Our Tomato plant, taken in our old Ann Arbor apartment.
There's a beautiful look to film that digital will probably never capture, similar to how even lossless audio still can't beat vinyl. It's simply physically there. I use to try replicating film with digital, and while there is some great software out there to do this (Nik Silver Efex Pro), nothing ever came close.

While it was a great camera, at around 40 years old it was hard to find the proper battery to run the metering system. In the end, I could never find one that worked (the correct voltage and size is no longer made), and the system seemed to be showing its age (see the light creep on the above photo).
The camera itself (I owned two), taken in our window.
