Purchased from the son of a photographer, Darryn associated this camera with the golden age of Hollywood portraiture and classic celebrity photography.
He described the image quality of these cameras as unmatched: “Digital still can’t compete with negatives from that camera.”
For Darryn — whose career was built on photographing celebrities — the camera represented the romance and craftsmanship of old-school photography before the digital era transformed the industry.
