John’s Negatives

Film 3 — 24 exposure 35mm film.

I bought my first SLR, a Ricoh XR1 on Saturday, January 6, 1979. When I got it home, I discovered a slight problem, no lens. So it was the following week before I could use it but I managed to shoot off a 24 exposure roll in Dalkeith and Edinburgh (and I think got it processed) before my departure for New Zealand on the 19th.
