Canon F-1

Berlin's Tempelhof Feld is unlike any other. This vast expanse, once a bustling airport central to the city's history, now serves as a massive public park—a unique blend of historical remnants and wide-open recreational space. In the summer of 2023, I joined a photo walk organized by the great folks at Safelight Berlin, armed with my trusty Canon F-1 and a very special roll of film: a heavily expired AGFA HDC 100.

The Canon F-1 is big and heavy, a camera made of brass and glass. It's fully mechanical with no automated features. To use it properly, you must slow down, think, focus, compose, dial up the proper shutter speed, open or close the lens, and wind the film to the next frame. It's a camera that requires everything from the photographer, and in return, it offers an amazingly satisfying analog experience and very, very nice photographs.
