Thanks so much, Elise!🩷 I've already developed the first roll and can't wait to share the scans soon. PS Your support means everything!

I thought about buying a second hand G2 back in 2008 but balked at the $500 price - I wish I'd known! Beautiful Camera and lenses - Congrats.

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing! I wish I had known too! I've been religiously checking the prices and offers for this camera since 2020. Over the past four years, I've watched the price increase, but it took me a long time to save up and finally take the leap to invest in it. I paid €2100 from a professional seller. I know you can potentially pay less buying from Japan, but I haven't had good experiences with that in the past. I prefer to buy locally so I can inspect the camera beforehand. I agree, it's a beautiful camera and the lenses are fantastic! Thank you so much again!

Do they have any more in stock? I’m in. The US 😢

[@martinadesantisphoto]

I feel you Emma. Check their eBay account or website-the store is called Dotti Fotografia, and you'll find their store link in the video description. If you're in the US, I recommend checking KEH Camera. I know these are hard to find in good condition, but don't give up! Contact them directly and ask them to notify you when one becomes available.

Mi dispiace per le tue foto ma non prendertela troppo con te stessa. Questi sono gli errori che ci aiutano a migliorare. Io ancora non ho avuto il coraggio di sviluppare i rullini in casa. A malapena so aprire un rullino quando c’è la luce figuriamoci se devo farlo senza luce 💀

[@martinadesantisphoto]

Ahah! Grazie mille per questo commento, mi ha fatto molto piacere! Come hai visto nel video io devo ancora prenderci la mano infatti mi sono tagliata un dito ahah! Hai ragione comunque! C’è moltissimo da imparare e la pazienza è un requisito fondamentale, armiamocene ☺️ Grazie ancora!
