16mm

A spool of 16mm film taken with a 16mm camera. The film is some old Russian Svema film that expired in 1982. I’ve shot with it, but it’s degraded too much and the results were very splotchy. I cut down some 35mm film to use in this camera, of which only about 28,000 of them were made. This shot was taken at the camera's closest focussing range of 13 inches.

Taken with my sixtieth camera.
