Why is that picture in black and white if it was taken in the 80's?
Color film was, and still is, considerably more expensive than black and white. Probably just what they had in their camera!
Also most news papers didn't swap to color photography until the late 90s, so if it's a reporter it's likely they had black and white film
🤔🤔🤔 I wonder if they still make old photo film.
Unfortunately the only cameras that still use 35mm for sale on the market are point and shoots and leicas as far as I know. There is definitely a great variety of tested and we'll maintained cameras for sale online.
