Film Photography. A Reference Manual for Shooting with Film— Andrew Bellamy

This is a book about the beauty of analog photography and a celebration of all those magical and amazing cameras that, for too long, have gone straight into the trash can. This book will connect these devices with a new generation of photographers, nurturing not only their love for them but also —and more importantly— encouraging them to passionately use them again.
— Florian Kaps, founder of The Impossible Project and Supersense
