Welcome. I'm Star Rush, an amateur photographer and iphoneographer in Seattle. Along with mobile photography, I love 35mm film cameras. I've been collecting a long time. Some say it's a fever. I say it's devotion. This is my collection and some film photography. The cameras aren't precious or valuable, but usable. I like them for their mechanical engineering, industrial design, and the wonderful photos they create. Trying to keep it close to home, I buy 35mm locally at Glazer's Cameras or drugstores. I use a local lab, 60 Minute Photo Lab, on Capitol Hill. Photos and cameras are 35mm, unless noted. Please contact me about using my photos. When reblogging, kindly credit me.

My iphoneography is at http://StarRush360.tumblr.com.

Minolta XE7, RokkorX 1:1.7 50mm
Newest addition to the camera family. This is a product of a collaboration between Minolta and Leica in the 1970s. Silky smooth shutter, excellent heft, and a fantastic addition to my Minolta cameras. Woo-hoo!
