Back in 2014 I purchased my first medium format camera – a Lubitel Universal. It was about $60 on eBay and for some reason I was really nervous to use it because I was not confident in my ability to focus or to set the correct settings for each shot. Surprisingly, the results were so much better than I had anticipated! I love when that happens because sometimes you are completely disappointed by a roll – even though the shots I took weren’t very interesting, I am now confident enough to take the camera out and to use it in various other settings and hopefully capture some fun shots.

Let me know your favourite 120 film in the comments below. I used Lomography Earl Grey 100 for these shots.

In December I purchased an underwater camera from a beautiful bookstore called Bookface. Sadly they aren’t available online yet as they have only got two stores so far, but they have everything I love. Mostly beautiful books and knick knacks that you don’t need.

Unfortunately my roll of film was exposed to water so the camera is ruined and I definitely won’t be purchasing another one in future (I’m after a Nikonos at the moment). I still managed to get a couple of decent shots out of the roll to my surprise.
