In the last video of 2024, we wanted the CineStill team to share what film cameras were the first ones that we had that helped us fall in love with film and photography. While there's a small team of us behind the scenes here at CineStill, we all share a passion for film photography! So whether our first camera was a thrift store purchase, or a gift, — or a family heirloom, we all share our stories about what our first cameras were (and why we think they make for good beginner cameras!). Share with us in the comments below what your first film camera was and see if it's the same as one of ours!
