My dad gave me an old Nikon that his dad got and used back during the war, and it was built in the early 1950's. How pretty is it? So pretty I thought it worthwhile to use a $5 polaroid sheet with my large format camera to capture it. I won't mention that I ruined a polaroid in the process because the film didn't open when I pulled it which always makes me annoyed and ashamed. But there I went and mentioned it - so now you have the whole story. So anyways, it took some googling to get a copy of the old manual for this camera to figure out how it works. I think I've figured it out and I've got a roll in there to test out if it exposes properly. I will be very old school when I use it since I have to carry around a light meter with me to take any photos since there isn't one built in. I imagine it will be worth the effort though and I will share whatever the results are. (Unless I'm a complete failure with it and then you'll never hear me refer to this camera again)
