Holga 120n and Ricoh KR-5 Super

Yeah, okay, second post for the day. The thing I wanted to tell you people that I'm super excited about, is that Lauren's friend Hunter's dad is a big photographer and he has like a ton of cameras, some are super new, but most are super vintage. He let me borrow his Holga 120n and his Ricoh KR-5 Super. At first I wasn't too excited for the Ricoh, because I'd never heard of one or seen one, so I didn't really know what to expect, so therefore I wasn't that excited. But I'd been looking at Holgas, and I was thinking about getting one, so I was super excited for that to see how I liked it. He gave them to me yesterday, and just now I've figured out how to use them. Yes, it took me quite a while to figure out the vintage camera, but after help from Google and the orginial manuals, I think I got the hang of it. The Holga is kind of confusing, and I don't like how when you take a picture you don't really know if you took the picture because you have to change the number by yourself. If that makes sense. I'm sure I'll just have to get the hang of it, but I'm still not completely stoked about it. As for the Ricoh... I'm pretty freaking positive that I've fallen in love with it. It looks so vintage-esque, but the focusing is like a new SLR. It's so easy, and even though the guy who's letting me borrow it, his nephew scratched off some of the arrows (because he thought it would ruin the camera so he wouldn't have to have his picture taken, haha, I nearly died laughing when I heard this), the Ricoh still works like an absolute CHARM. The focusing and zooming is like insanely easy, almost easier than my Nikon. And when I use up all the film, I'll get it devolped to see how much I actually like the camera. Because even though I adore it now, if I don't like the pictures, there isn't really a point in buying one for myself. The film takes up to 36 pictures, so it'll probably be used up pretty quickly. So the Ricoh KR-5 Super I am thoroughly enjoyed with so far, and the Holga 120n will need some getting used to but I'm sure I'll like it just fine when it comes down to it.
