Merry Christmas! I’m sure the best year is always the next year. Take more pictures!
I acquired this Rolleicord IIb on eBay for $28. It’s made in 1938-1939, just a little bit younger than my grandpa. But it’s still in good working condition. I had to clean it up and re-conditioned the leather a bit. The taking lens has little marks. I sound checked the shutter speed, pretty accurate for everything above 1/10; slower speeds didn’t work.
I bought some Ilford HP5+ to go with it. We will see how they turn out. Excited!

I don’t know what it is in your picture. But it sounds you are really into it. Hope that will help you to take more fine pictures. And happy Christmas!!!
Btw, did you guys perform any show this year in the church?

It’s a camera, really really old camera. Haha. And no, no performance this year.

It’s hard to believe a camera as old as your granpa can still work now. Amazing.

It is. But a lot of things can last a long time if we take good care of them.
