Sherry first picked up a film camera in 2016, a bit of a latecomer to the craft. She is a 51 year old grandmother who lives on a farm just outside of Irma, Alberta, Canada. “I enjoy looking through the thrift stores to find camera gear.” Her camera was one of those finds.

Never ever used Pentax but fine cameras and lenses.
Yes, they are. This wasn’t one of their most popular models… but it is simple to use and the lens is sharp.
