Eegads the things we do for art! I doubt I'd have the patience to try this, much less the time. I'm more apt to play with the development side of things. Is it weird that playing with chemicals doesn't scare me as much as potentially ruining film before it ever goes into the camera? But the results are intriguing. Almost like a dreamscape with the blur.
You always make me jealous with the collection, so many awesome goodies! My gear acquisition has slowed a bit, though my stepson found this little beauty in his grandmother's garage the other day. I've enjoyed cleaning it up and look forward to trying it out once I get a battery for it. It even came loaded with a 40 year old roll of Kodacolor II which I promptly ruined by opening the back. Turns out it's ripped anyway. I might try to develop it just to see if I can salvage something, who knows?
