After a near lifetime of wanting one, I finally pulled the trigger and got myself a reel-to-reel machine (AKAI GX-1830D).

I shoot a lot of film, so I decided to have fun with a product style shoot using my Nikon F3. Stock is Kodak Portra 400, but my developer was super expired so the image isn't terribly sharp.
