Will you use film or paper negatives?
Making contacts can be interesting.
Congrats and best of luck.

In the last few weeks I’ve picked up a small kit of Canon FD gear - a New F-1 with AE finder and motor, a T-90, 50/1.4, 50/1.8, 100/2.8 and 35-70/4. I have always been a Nikon shooter but have wanted these for years, just because.
You now have a great Canon rig. Enjoy.

I picked up nine rolls of Lomography 400 C-41 (not the F squared stuff) from FPP and that's in transit from NJ. I also have a mid-1970s Asahi Pentax KM ( a Spotmatic F with a K mount) on its way from Japan.

I just bought a CLA & Leicavit adaptation for this M4. 50years. Now runs smooth as silk & good for another 50. What a mechanical & artistic design wonder! Thank you Don Goldberg at DAG.
Man walks down the street with a camera like that, and people know he's not afraid of anything.

Nikon 80-200mm f4.5 AI. One touch. Arguably the first zoom that showed a zoom can deliver pro-level results. $1800 in its day adjusted for inflation. All metal construction, still a worthy lens today. Clean optics, KEH "BGN" -- $59, shipped. This lens still simply delivers and is a true bargain. Brick outhouses claim they're built like this lens. Not a zoom guy but wanted one for my Nikon to complete the kit. Wanted max optical quality/min cost. Chose this. Am pleased. There were three versions of this lens, the last being an f4 version. The second version of the 4.5 has a rectangular baffle on the rear element and is supposed to be the best, albeit marginally. The f4 version gets mixed review. I say, with a 40 yo lens, buy based on condition, especially optics. No haze, no fungus, etc. Bypass the gear roulette wheel that is eBay, and go with KEH (or similar) for a lens that's been professionally inspected, rated by a business that has a reputation to protect, offers good customer service and return policy.

Added a few box cameras to the family, an Agfa Synchro box that might be 120 but has squinty little viewfinder windows and a brownie E that looks new ... I have re-rolled some film onto 620 spools and sometine soon it will be in use.
Thinking about a Flexaret V11 from cupog GAS is fun

Every 5-7 years I spend 12-18 months blowing what I'm using. Leica M ---> top end Leica M ----> Leica R ----> to now just having less of any one thing and building more variety, with an emphasis on older lenses (better for B&W). Stunned at the affordability and quality of everything not beginning with the letter "L". Maybe I spent that last two decades walking down the wrong path.
