At spring I have an opportunity to try antique cameras with film 100+ yrs old cams. My friend who is an antique merchant and collector figure out we should have fun to try out them. I won't try them in -5C so have to wait to spring, sound is quiet exciting. I remember for Louis advice to try it first with photo paper until get experience to not ruin valuable cut films. Any other advice , experience ?
